The actress was reported to have vanished from her Los Angeles apartment two weeks ago, having last contacted her cousin, Danielle-Tori Singh, via text on October 30. who flew from the East Coast with Banks' mother, Judy Singh, to search for her after not hearing from Banks for two weeks. They began plastering her Play Vista neighborhood with missing flyers and tried to talk to the man she married a year ago known only as "CJ." A GoFundMe page says that the actor's mother and cousin filed a missing person's report for Banks on November 8 and visited her home two days later to find her husband with a "busted lip and marks and scratches on his neck and arms." They also wrote on the page that "CJ" was "being uncooperative with police."
