A family is now trying to make arrangements for the young daughter of a missing Hobe Sound mother

Tricia Todd has been missing since Wednesday and now her family is trying to decide who will take care of the two-year-old.

Tricia's mother Rebecca Hasselbach was going to ask a judge to get temporary custody of her granddaughter but she withdrew her motion and says that Tricia's brother will now be the one trying to get custody. She believes the little girl is better suited to stay with his family

Tuesday is the sixth full day of searching for Todd.

"I’m very, very grateful for all the volunteers and for just the overwhelming response from the Martin County (Sheriff's Office). They're really awesome,” Hasselbach said.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office says her car was found near her home with her keys and purse inside and her disappearance remains a mystery.
