A missing person poster circulating on social media says the actress went missing in the "LA/Hollywood Bowl area". Fear, age 31, was last seen on September 9, according to her manager Alex Cole, cited by Eyewitness News.
He said that the actress and director had recently been performing stand-up comedy in the Los Angeles area for two months and the two had discussed work eight days ago. Cole asserted that she had been fine at the time, and it was a "shock" to discover she had disappeared.
"Since she's been here, she's had a great career and this is just the beginning… We're obviously concerned and (hope) we find out this is a simple mistake and we find her."
A Twitter user claiming to be Fear's cousin posted an appeal to the public to help find the woman, who “had no family in the US”.
