The actress’ disappearance remains shrouded in mystery, but it has emerged that she left her car and pet dog at her Los Angeles apartment.
Worried family members have revealed that the 36-year-old doesn’t normally leave her apartment without her dog.
But, her cell phone and laptop were not found in the apartment.
Danielle-Tori Singh said if she doesn’t hear from her cousin for more than five days, then it is a red flag, per the ABC affiliate KABC.
“She doesn’t go more than 48 hours without speaking to me or her mom,” she told the outlet.
“That girl is more like a big sister to me.”
Danielle revealed she last received a text from Banks on October 30.
She now fears something isn’t right.
“I can tell you in my soul, in my gut, something is not right,” she told Eyewitness News.
“We’re crossing two weeks now without a word, without a sound. Nothing.”
Four welfare checks were carried out at Banks’ apartment, but she wasn’t there.
No one has been charged in connection with her disappearance as the search continues.
MYSTERY DISAPPEARANCE
Danielle jetted in from Toronto, while Banks’ mom flew in from New York.
She has vowed not to leave California before the end of the search.
“I’m not going to leave California until I find my cousin,” she told KTLA.
She has also begged Banks to contact her family.
“We just want to know you’re okay and that you’re safe and that nobody did anything to you,” she pleaded.
Danielle revealed that Banks wouldn’t go anywhere before telling her mom, per a GoFundMe page.
Banks, who has lived in Los Angeles for over a decade, starred in three episodes of Gossip Girl, where she played Sawyer Bennett.
She also appeared in an episode of Blue Bloods and the drama show Twelve in 2010.
More than $3,000 has been raised on the GoFundMe.
