BUSHLAND, TEXAS -- UPDATE:  A 28-year-old woman who was reported missing Wednesday night has still not been found, and the search has now been called off. Danny Alexander with the Randall County Sheriff's office said they still aren't sure if she was really missing or in any danger.

The sheriff's office said they received calls around 8:00 p.m., about a woman knocking on a resident's door. According to Alexander, the woman got in a fight with her boyfriend around I-40 and Bushland, and she walked away from the scene of the fight. The man she was with was arrested for public intoxication. The woman was said to have knocked on one person's door in the area of 34th and Bushland looking for a ride.

Authorities from Randall, Potter, and Oldham counties along with the DPS chopper all searched for the woman for four hours, but were never able to find her. They also checked her home in Oldham County, but she wasn't there.

The Department of Public Safety and law enforcement are looking for a missing woman. Scanner traffic shows that she is 22 years old and went missing in the Bushland area on Wednesday night.

Our crews saw a K-9 unit searching on South West County Road 34, in the 19400 block area. Law enforcement told our crews she started knocking on doors on that block late Wednesday evening.

Officers were speaking to the home owners in that area. We do not know if the woman was assaulted or is possibly hurt.  DPS, along with the Sheriff's Department and a DPS helicopter, were seen circling the area.

We will continue to update the details as soon as we receive both right here on our website and on Daybreak.
