Tamara Dunstan had taken Wednesday off from her job as a nurse working with children who have cancer and was shopping at a Target store about 3 p.m. when she last spoke with her mother, Tamara's father-in-law, Bernard Dunstan Jr., told CNN.

About 5 p.m., Tamara's mother returned to her home in Augusta and found her daughter's Honda parked outside and some items missing from the home, he sa
d.

"The conjecture is that she walked in on some burglars and she's been abducted," Dunstan said.

Someone in the neighborhood told police that they had seen a late-model, dark Mu


sta
g during that time with a white man and a black man -- both in their 20s -- inside, Duns
tan said.

The FBI and police from three counties -- using bloodhounds and helicopters -- have failed to turn up any other leads, he said.

Tamara's husband, Bernard Dunstan III, was at his job as a contractor during the afternoon, and is not considered a suspect, his father said. "We found out Easter eve she was three months' pregnant," he said.

The family is offering a $25,000 reward for her safe return, he said.

"They are working on the case," a police dispatcher said. A police spokesman did not immediately return a call.

The 5-foot-4, brown-haired, blue-eyed woman weighs 120 pounds and was last seen wearing a deep pink V-neck sweater, blue jeans
and brown shoes.

"She's an angel of a person, the nicest person you could ever know," said her cousin, Gwinn Bruns.
