Grandville Police found the shoe of a woman who went missing in the early hours of Sunday, her family says.
Mary Tornga, 51, was last seen in the area of Market Street and I-196 around 1 a.m. Sunday. She had been in downtown Grand Rapids with her husband at a birthday party, family members said.

Her husband later reported her missing, police say.
Family members told 24 Hour News 8 that the Grandville Police searched the area Sunday with the assistance of a Grand Rapids Police Department K9 and found her shoe. Police searched until dark, family said.
“Near the entrance ramp from market to the expressway, a shoe was found, so that’s what’s making them so concerned,” said Tornga’s sister Micki Ackerman. She said Tornga’s daughter confirmed the shoe belonged to Tornga.
“My sister is the most responsible person I know. Clear-headed. That’s why the concern that we have, because we haven’t heard from her since last night,” said Ackerman.
Ackerman said Tornga’s cellphone is off.
Tornga is described as 5-foot-4 and about 140 pounds with brown hair and eyes. She was last seen wearing a bright pink shirt and blue jeans.
