Steve Young issues statement, plea to find missing cousin

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback and Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve Young has issued a plea for help in search of his missing cousin, the San Jose Mercury News reported on Thursday.

The ESPN analyst and former starting quarterback is asking for help in finding Nicole Coletti Harris, 41, who mysteriously disappeared on Oct. 24, the report said.

Per Young's statement:

"My cousin, Nicole Coletti Harris (Nikki), has been missing for over a month. It's as if she vanished. The last sighting was a neighbor just two houses away from her home. This leaves our family concerned and wondering.  

"Nicole is a beautiful, 41-year-old mother of five children. She went missing in October without a cell phone, purse, or any apparent preparation for a long absence. 

"This time of year reminds us even more how precious our families are to us. Her children and family are very important to her, and her five children and grandchild need her back, as do we, her extended family."

Harris, a mother of five, was reportedly last seen in front of her home in Provo, Utah. As stated in Young's plea, she left without her phone or purse, CBS reported.

Anyone with leads is strongly encouraged to contact the Provo Police at 801-852-6210.
