(CNN) -- A U.S. Air Force officer is missing after a trip to a shopping mall in Kyrgyzstan, a U.S. military statement said Wednesday.
Maj. Jill Metzger, with the 376th Air Expeditionary Wing, was last seen shopping at the Zum Shopping Center with others from the Manas Air Base when she disappeared on Tuesday, the statement said.
"Major Metzger was last seen wearing a green sweater and blue jeans," the statement said.
"She has blonde hair and blue eyes. She is in excellent athletic condition."
Military Web sites describe Metzger as a top-flight marathoner.
An article about a race in May at Manas Air Base on Hilltoptimes.com calls Metzger a "two-time Air Force Marathon champion." Hilltoptimes.com is a Web site with news about personnel from Hill Air Force Base in Utah.
The Web site for the Air Force Marathon at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio shows Metzger as the top female in the 2004 race and top military female in 2005.
A task force made up of U.S. military personnel, U.S. Embassy personnel and local officials are trying to find her, the statement said.
The U.S. military has used Manas Air Base in the former Soviet republic since 2001 to support operations in Afghanistan. The U.S. and Kyrgyzstan approved a deal in July for continued U.S. use of the base.
