• Text messages sent from Ana Maria Knezevic's phone raised the suspicion of her friend and her brother
• Knezevic was going through a divorce and taking a break in Madrid, per reports

• Her husband traveled to his native Serbia shortly before her disappearance, according to Knezevic's brother

A Florida woman has disappeared in Spain during what was supposed to be a break from a divorce she was going through, her friends and family say, according to Local 10, Fox 13 and The Associated Press.

Ana Maria Knezevic, 40, traveled to Spain in December and had been staying at an apartment in Madrid, Fox 13 and The Associated Press report.

She was last heard from two weeks ago, according to the outlets.

A bulletin from Spain's Ministry of Interior said she disappeared on Feb. 2. 

Prior to Knezevic's disappearance, a man in a helmet allegedly disabled security cameras at her apartment building, authorities say, according to Fox 13. The man allegedly sprayed the surveillance cameras with black paint, building management says, according to Local 10.

The next day, Knezevic's friend Sanna Rameau and brother Juan Henao received text messages from her phone, which they say raised their suspicions that something had happened to her.

In one text message, which was published by CBS News, a note purportedly from Knezevic said she had “met someone wonderful” the day before and was now headed to a summer house outside Madrid.

“Amazing connection,” the message read. “Like I never had before.”

The message also said her signal was "spotty."

"She wouldn't do this ... it is very unsafe and crazy behavior," Rameau told the Associated Press. Rameau said the tone of the message was impersonal, detached and did not sound like Knezevich.

The missing woman was scheduled to travel to Barcelona on Feb. 5, per The Associated Press. Rameau said she had traveled with Knezevic before and it’s not in her nature to disappear before a trip, per Local 10.

Knezevich's husband David Knezevich traveled to Serbia in January, Henao told authorities, The Associated Press reports.

Authorities have not been able to reach David, Local 10 reports.

Rameau says Ana Knezevich never mentioned being scared of David or alleged any abuse, according to The Associated Press.

Police in Madrid and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., reportedly launched investigations but have not commented further, per the Associated Press. 

A GoFundMe has been set up to help Knezevich's family work with a private investigator to find her.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the U.S. State Department at 1-888-407-4747.
