The family of a Brooklyn mother missing for three weeks is calling on anyone with information about her disappearance to come forward.

Police say Natoya Stephens, 29, was last seen on July 10 at her house in Canarsie.

She was reported missing about a week later.

Now her family is asking for anyone who could held find her to step forward.

The mother of two owns a restaurant with her fiance.

Sources say the couple had a fight before she went missing.

"At this point, we have so many different things going on in our heads. We're thinking kidnapping. The last thing I'm thinking is that she just walked away and is sitting somewhere," said Satania Aikens, a family friend.

"I try not to make my mind slip onto the negative side; try to keep thinking that she's okay, she just needs to get her head in the right place right now, so I'm just hoping for the best," said Stephens' daughter, Kelia Stephens.

Stephens is described as being 5'1" tall, weighing 130 pounds with black hair, brown eyes, and a flower tattoo on her left hand.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
