A missing Arizona woman has been found in a critical condition, a week after vanishing from her home, on an Indian reservation.  

Jessica Goodwin, 28, was reported missing on January 11 after calling out sick from her job as a chiropractor.

She vanished from her home in Gilbert, which is on the outskirts of Phoenix, leaving behind her dog, and was last seen in surveillance footage driving her white 2013 Volkswagen Jetta, driving away from a car wash which was the last place she used her credit card. 

The car was found near the car wash on Thursday night but there was no sign of her. 

On Sunday afternoon, police discovered Jessica after tracing her cell phone signal to the Gila River Indian Reservation, a desert-like area some 30 miles from her home.
