Banks, 36, who appeared in the third season of the hit series as Sawyer Bennettit was on October 30, when he texted his cousin, danielle-Tori Singhthe same one who has now traveled to Southern California with the actress’s mother, Judy Singh, to help in the search after her husband supposedly told them “she doesn’t want to be found” and has been removing posters of “disappeared.”

The interpreter’s family began to worry when they did not hear from her for several days, something unusual in her behavior. “Five days without hearing from my cousin are warning and alarm signs. She doesn’t go more than 48 hours without speaking to me or her mother… That girl is like an older sister to me,” her cousin stated to ABC7 News.

Before her disappearance, Chanel had been living in an apartment in Beach View with her husband for a year and it was at that residence where her mother and cousin discovered that both her car and her dog were still on the property. However, they could not locate either his laptop or his phone. “She doesn’t go anywhere without her dog. He gives her emotional support,” says Danielle.

According to her cousin, Banks, who married her husband in November last year, had put her acting career on the back burner to focus on writing. “I’m not leaving California until I find my cousin,” Danielle stated bluntly and added an emotional message to Banks in case she was listening: “We love you so much. We just want to know that you’re okay, that you’re safe and that no one has done nothing to you.”

The Los Angeles Police Department “She has told us that, since there are no signs of violence and her husband has not committed any crime by withholding information, there is nothing they can do until they have evidence or probable cause to arrest him,” said Danielle. “We also need money for hotels, food, car rentals and gas. We are not from Los Angeles. I flew in from Toronto, Canada, and her mother flew in from New York. Chanel has no family or friends here and would never go anywhere without telling his mother. Please help us find my cousin.
