Original story:

NAPERVILLE, IL — Two locations in Naperville may be among the last places anyone saw a Joliet woman who was first reported missing Dec. 9. Amanda Smeeton, 36, had been hit by a car while she was in a different state and had been in a Naperville hospital for treatment, according to the Will County Sheriff's Office (WCSO).

She checked out of the hospital on Dec. 6, per WCSO.

Police say Smeeton may have last been seen near a Burger King in Naperville, in addition to the Trader Joe's at 44 Gartner Road. Reports also indicate Smeeton may have been seen at the 1144 W. Boughton Road Burger King in Bolingbrook.

Smeeton has blue eyes and curly brown hair. She is 5-foot-4 inches tall, weighs around 105 pounds and has four tattoos. Smeeton's tattoos include a dream catcher on her back, a star on a finger on her right hand, an animal print on her left forearm and a heart that's on a finger on her left hand.

Police say Smeeton has a "long scar on the front of her abdomen" and that it's possible she is in a wheelchair and may have a cast on one of her legs.
