Police are searching for 22-year-old Farah Malik of Sterling.

Farah Malik, 22, returned home to Sterling on Saturday after being reported missing last week. An investigation by the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office revealed that she left on her own accord and had been staying with friends.

Malik was reported missing on Wednesday, July 9, after last being seen by her family that morning. She had left her home on Rock Hill Road for her place of employment in Herndon. Normally, she would ride her bike on the Washington and Old Dominion Trail to get there.

The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, along with the Herndon and Fairfax police departments searched the W&OD trail for several hours on the day she was reported missing.
