The husband of a missing Oakland coffee shop owner released a new video Wednesday, urging the public to help find his wife, who has been missing for over two weeks.
Chris Hillyard urged the community to continue searching for his wife, Farley’s coffee shop co-owner Amy Hillyard, 52, in a video posted April 9 on a website dedicated to her search.
“Amy’s superpower is to bring out the best in people,” he said. “… Now we need those powers to bring her home.”
She was last seen around 2 p.m. on March 25 leaving her home on the 500 block of Radnor Road in Oakland’s Cleveland Heights neighborhood, according to the Oakland Police Department. Her disappearance has prompted a large-scale search involving more than 400 volunteers, along with the Oakland Police Department and Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities believe she left on foot and consider her at risk due to a medical condition.

“At times, the pain of not having her here by my side is unbearable,” Chris said, adding that the support of volunteers has given him “hope and the strength to continue.”
Search teams have canvassed areas, including Skyline Gate in the Oakland hills, a place loved ones say she frequently visited, but those efforts have not produced new leads.
Volunteers have also reviewed surveillance footage, including from BART stations, while investigators continue to follow up on tips and conduct additional video canvassing in surrounding neighborhoods.
Amy Hillyard is 5 feet, 4 inches tall, about 120 pounds, with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing a white short-sleeve shirt, light jeans and white sneakers with black stripes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Oakland police at 510-238-3641.
