ORMOND BEACH, Fla. -- The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in locating a missing woman who was recently staying in the Ormond Beach area.

Rachael L. Madison, 44, was staying with family near Ormond-by-the-Sea after leaving Indiana to distance herself from her estranged husband, 58-year-old Jarvis Madison.

At 4:45 p.m, the VCSO said Jarvis Madison is now wanted on a warrant in the state of Indiana on a charge of criminal confinement, which carries a bond of $15,000 with full extradition. Madison is believed to be armed with a 45 caliber handgun. He is a transient who has been known to frequent 24-hour Wal-Marts, gas stations and state or local parks.

"Rachael was last seen leaving a home on Rivocean Drive sometime between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday to go for a jog on the beach." Sheriff's PIO Andrew Gant told Headline Surfer. "She never returned."

She was last seen wearing a pair of men’s navy blue basketball shorts, a light-colored jacket and blue/black slip-on Skechers shoes.

She had no money or cell phone with her when she left for her run. She has no contacts in the area. It is believed Rachael could be in the company of her estranged husband. Investigators are working to determine whether she left with him willingly or if she is endangered/missing under other circumstances.
