A search is on for Mob Wives alum Natalie DiDonato.
After the VH1 series alum failed to catch two separate flights back to her home in Florida from Las Vegas, she was reported missing Jan. 21, the Las Vegas Police Department confirmed to People.
E! News has reached out to the Las Vegas Police Department regarding Natalie’s missing person report but has not yet heard back.
The 44-year-old—who appeared on season five of the reality show—contacted her mother Denise Fuoco via a FaceTime call last week, where she rushed off the phone and didn’t specify why she had to go, her mom told TMZ.
Denise told the outlet that it was “unclear” whether her daughter was with anyone during the call, but that Natalie seemed “nervous” and “distressed” as they chatted.
Following the phone call, Denise was concerned for her daughter’s wellbeing, she told TMZ, and tried to contact her several more times, but her daughter’s phones had stopped working. After failing to reach Natalie over the next few days, Denise opted to inform the Philadelphia Police, where she believed her daughter had been.
However, Denise told the outlet that she was contacted by a friend of Natalie’s, who claimed that her daughter was in Las Vegas, and had reached out to him for financial assistance getting back home to Florida. The friend purchased a ticket for Natalie, and reported her missing in Las Vegas when she did not show up for the flight, per TMZ.
Denise told TMZ that the friend—who communicated with her daughter over WhatsApp—is the last known person to be in contact with Natalie, adding that her daughter has been “distant” in the last month.
Amid the news, Natalie’s former Mob Wives costar Drita D’Avanzo spoke out about the concerning predicament.

“This is horrible,” she told TMZ in a statement. “I really hope it’s nothing but missing flights and reported missing seems extremely concerning. I really wish they find her safe and sound! I have not seen or spoken to her in a very long time and wish I had answers.”
