After researching her credit card history, Sumter County Sheriff's Office investigators said they think Judith A. Cole, 75, is lost and traveling on her own.

Cole's credit card was last used in Birmingham, Alabama, Tuesday morning, states a news release from the sheriff's office.

She was last confirmed seen at 2:15 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 5 in Pickens, which is just west of Greenville, when she used her credit card and reportedly asked for directions back to Sumter.

Investigators do not believe Cole is being forced to drive, states the release.
