The “Blue Bloods'' and “Gossip Girl'' actress disappeared from her Los Angeles apartment two weeks ago, according to her worried family, who are blaming her new husband for not helping with the search.
Chanel Maya Banks, 36, hasn't heard from her cousin Daniel-Tori Singh since October 30, when she last emailed him.
“Not hearing from your cousin for five days is a red flag and a wake-up call.” Singh told ABC 7 Eyewitness News. “She never goes more than 48 hours without talking to me or her mother…She's like a sister to me,” the cousin said.
“Something is wrong in my soul and in my gut. Something is happening. We have now gone more than two weeks with no words, no sounds.”
Authorities conducted a welfare check at the Playa Vista apartment Ms. Banks had shared with her husband for a year and found her belongings and dog there, but nothing to indicate where she had gone. Ta.
Singh, who had flown in from Toronto to help find his cousin, began handing out “missing person” posters in Banks' neighborhood.
She and other family members are worried, but she says Banks' husband hasn't made the same effort to search for his missing wife, which she says makes her “suspicious.”
“He's not going to help the LAPD. He's not going to help me or her mother find her. He's removing flyers from mailboxes and cars,” Singh claimed.
Banks' husband, who is not named in the fundraiser or in local reports, does not appear to have responded to her cousin's claims.
The Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment early Wednesday morning.
However, the family was told by the Los Angeles Police Department that there was no sign of foul play in the case and that “the husband did not commit any crime by withholding information,” the fundraiser noted.
The family hopes to use the money raised to hire a private investigator to help with the search.
According to her IMDB page, Ms. Banks appeared on popular shows such as “Blue Bloods,” “Twelve” and “Gossip Girl,” and sometimes went by the name Chanel Farrell.
