Micheal Chukwuebuka, Reporting

A mother who was reported missing by a concerned co-worker was found alive in a shipping container after someone heard her banging on the locked door, NBC News has reported.

Cocoa Police Department, in a Facebook statement, said, Marlene Lopez, 52, from Florida, was located Thursday afternoon trapped in a shipping container located next to a business on Cocoa Boulevard.

According to reports, she was last seen Monday at her home and was reported missing Wednesday after a concerned co-worker called police and said she had failed to pick up her son.

“During the course of the investigation, detectives were notified that the woman had been found.

“She had been banging on the door of the shipping container when someone heard her and unlocked the door,” police said.

Tyler Sonnenberg, who owns the shipping container, told a local station that he first saw Lopez walking around the area on Monday.

According to the station, Sonnenberg locked the container, which is used to store lawnmowers, on Tuesday afternoon and did not hear any noise on Wednesday.

Sonnenberg said he thinks Lopez walked into the unit on her own and passed out.

He told the station that he was not at fault for Lopez getting stuck inside the container.

As of the time of filing this report, police are still investigating how Lopez ended up inside the container.
