The FBI is lending resources to assist in the case of a missing Signal Mountain woman.

Gail Palmgren, 44, of 40 Ridgerock Drive, was last seen April 30.

Her husband, Matthew Palmgren, reported her missing two days later to the Signal Mountain Police Department.

Two weeks later, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office began investigating her disappearance and the FBI offered to lend its resources, said Special Agent Edward Galloway of the FBI’s Chattanooga office.

The FBI is not taking a lead role in the investigation, Galloway said, but is offering technical support and letting local authorities access its lab to process any evidence collected in the case.
