Her family feared the worst but police did not deem the disappearance suspicious until now.
Missing: The family of Sandra Lemire, 47, said she loves

Mrs Lemire is from the Detroit, Michigan area, but moved to Orlando, Florida, three years ago to care for her grandmother.
Her three adult sons and ex-husband live in Michigan.

Video surveillance show that she did meet with the man, a district manager, for about two hours and left, never to be seen again.

'If she said she was going shopping and would be back in an hour, she would be back in an hour,' Pauline Varner, Mrs Lemire's grandmother, told the Orlando Sentinel.
Police are at a loss as to what happened to her, as well as the red 2004 Ford Freestyle van she was driving.
'We would normally have come across the car or her within 30 days,' Sgt Vince Ogburn, spokesman for the Orlando Police Department, said. 'No leads have panned out.'
He added that they have no reason to believe she is not alive, however, have deemed her disappearance suspicious.
Family members are relieved Mrs Lemire is finally getting the attention she deserves, but still worried it may not work out for the best.
Family: Her son, Chris Lewis, has been posting feverishly
on Facebook about his missing mother, who he has yet to introduce to her
granddaughter
Suspicious: Some are worried that without her insulin, she
could have suffered from diabetic shock
'We want to know what happened to her,' Robert Varner, her father said to the Orlando Sentinel. 'I think they're taking it a little more serious now.'
'We'd like to say hopefully they will find the person or people that did this and bring them to justice but we don't have any leads.'
