Actress Misty Upham, who appeared in August: Osage County, Frozen River andDjango Unchained has been reported missing by her family.
The Seattle Times have reported that the 32-year-old hasn't been seen for the past week - and her father filed a missing persons report on Monday.
Police received a call with a report of a suicidal person at her parents' apartment, but when they responded the person had already left.
Upham "is not considered endangered" according to police, because a disappearance must be considered "unexplained, involuntary or suspicious" to trigger that kind of concern.
"Her family is certainly concerned about her, and we are, too, but it's not suspicious," Police commander Steve Stocker said.
Upham was nominated for a 2014 Screen Actors Guild for her role in August: Osage County, and an Independent Spirit Award for her role as Lila Littlewolf inFrozen River.
