An 18-year-old woman was abducted from a Walmart parking lot nearly 2 weeks ago and her family believe a stranger was responsible

• Naomi Irion, 18, was abducted from a Walmart parking lot by a nondescript man on March 12.
• Police found evidence in her abandoned car suggesting her disappearance is "criminal in nature."

The family of a missing Nevada teen have told police that she went out on a date the night before she disappeared, and had been sexually harassed at work, but believe the person who took her was likely a stranger.

Naomi Irion disappeared from the parking lot of a Walmart in Fernley where she rode a shuttle every morning to her job at a Panasonic factory.

While sitting in her parked car just before 5:30 a.m. on March 12, surveillance footage showed a man in a gray hoodie walking up to the car and doing or saying something to make Naomi slide over to the passenger seat and let the man in the car, her older brother, Casey Valley, told Insider on Thursday.

The vehicle then drove off in an unknown direction, according to a March 15 Facebook post from the Lyon County Sheriff's Office.

While surveillance footage of the hooded man walking in the parking lot before approaching Naomi's car has been released, police have not yet released to the public the video of the suspect confronting Naomi.

Two days after Naomi went missing, her car was found abandoned less than a mile from the Walmart parking lot. Police said evidence inside the car suggests "Naomi's disappearance is criminal in nature," according to the March 15 Facebook post.

A public information officer for the Lyon County Sheriff's Office did not answer Insider's call for comment on Friday.

Naomi's brother told Insider about two noteworthy incidents leading up to her disappearance — that Naomi had been sexually harassed at her job and that she went on a date with a man the night before her disappearance.

However, the family doesn't believe that either person is involved in Naomi's disappearance.

Naomi's mother, Diana, told Insider that both people have been vetted by the police and the FBI.

Little is known about the suspect so far. In the surveillance footage, he is covered from head to toe, making it hard to even distinguish his race.

The only details police have released about the suspect are that he was about 6 feet tall and is believed to have been driving a dark 2020 or newer Chevrolet, 2500, High Country four-door pickup truck.

The family is holding out hope that Naomi will be found, and called upon anyone with any sort of information to come forward.

"You can save a young girl's life by coming forward. Please I'm begging you," Diana Irion told Insider.

Naomi is described as being 5-foot-11, 240 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. She has both sides of her nose pierced and her septum pierced. She has a smiley face tattoo on one of her angles. She was last seen wearing a blue Panasonic shirt, a gray cardigan, sweats, and knock-off Ugg boots.
