GREENBELT, Md. — A public school teacher remains missing in Prince George's County.

Mariame Toure Sylla, 59, was last seen around 8pm on July 29 in the 6500 block of Lake Park Drive in Greenbelt.

Police have spent time looking for her in Schrom Hills Park.

A candlelight vigil and prayer service was also held at the park last Friday.

Sylla is an elementary teacher at Dora Kennedy French Immersion School.

Despite receiving multiple tips in the case, Greenbelt Police are asking for the public's continued assistance with the search.

So far investigators have stopped short of indicating any foul play. They also don't believe Sylla left the United States.

"The longer that she is missing, the longer the search goes on, the greater our concern becomes that we won't be able to locate her in a safe manner," said Greenbelt Police Chief Richard Bowers.

Anyone with information on Sylla's whereabouts is asked to call police at 301-474-7200.
