DULUTH, Ga. — Local police are investigating the disappearance of a Georgia woman who is supposed to get married on Saturday.
Jennifer Wilbanks has not been seen since she went jogging in Duluth, Ga., Tuesday night, Gwinnett County police said.
Wilbanks, 32, described as 5-foot-8, 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, was last seen in the downtown Duluth area at 8:30 p.m. She was wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue sweatpants and blue New Balance running shoes.
Her fiancé, John Mason, said Wilbanks left the house around 8:30 p.m. for her jog "in good spirits" and said she would return in about 40 minutes. Mason said that after an hour passed, he went looking for her on foot and then checked area hospitals. He called police two to three and-a-half hours after she left the house, he said.
"This is a very traumatizing time. It's hard to put into words. I'm exhausted, I can't eat, I'm just kind of here," Mason told FOX News in a telephone interview around 2 p.m. EDT on Wednesday.
Mason said he does not think Wilbanks voluntarily left on her own, since there were no signs of discontent and all of her personal belongings, including her car and wallet, were still at their house.
"I don't feel like there's anything, anything terribly [wrong with her]," Mason said. "She may be hurt or she, I don't know, [I] just would like to have some answers. Looks like now we have none."
He added: "I feel like she's out there somewhere ... I just don't know where to go."
Asked if he and Wilbanks had any major disagreements, Mason responded: "No, none whatsoever."
He said, "Oh, sure," when asked by FOX News if he would be willing to take a lie-detector test, if requested by police.

Ah, gee...not another young woman gone missing.
This sounds a little like the Lori Hacking "disappearance" while jogging.
I'm still amazed that people just vanish.
Hard to know what is going on. However, as a woman, I would never jog alone. It is just not safe, especially that late at night. It may not be fair, but that is the way it is.
Prayers for her safe return.
That's the first place they'll look, that's for sure...
Maybe she hitched a ride with The Bandit who's running blocker for 600 cases of Coor's beer!
What's with Georgia and Florida lately?
I'd think being 20 minutes late from a run wouldn't cause too much concern either. He went looking when she was 20 minutes late? She could have stopped to talk to a neighbor for that long. I know who would be suspect number 1 if I was investigating.
Isn't this guy going to be on Greta tonight?
Sounds like the Julia Roberts movei my wife always watches on the Lifetime Lesbian Network.
There is ALWAYS something suspicious about the significant other in these cases. It doesn't matter what they say.
If they're quiet . . . its suspicious. If they talk about how they feel . . . its suspicious. If they say they just want to help find their loved one . . . its suspicious.
When we first got DirecTV, I deprogrammed Lifetime and Oxygen from the channel list.
But don't tell Mrs. CD.
Good move, man! Nothing but man hating self pitying shite.
Can you come over and get rid of Soap Net for me?
I don't run (bad ankles), but my hubby will call me on my cell phone if I am 10 minutes late getting home from work to check in with him (he travels all week). If I am going to stop anywhere, I tell him in advance or call him and let him know I will be late. Nothing wrong with that, we consider it a courtesy to each other to "report in" if we are going to be late.
You better delete Oprah, too. She's another manhating lesbian.
that is so weird, i am sure we have those channels on our cable system but i couldn't tell ya what number they are, i have never seen them.
