Instagram influencer has been found dead in Houston on Saturday, after family and friends reported she was missing.

26-year-old Alexis Sharkey, was supposed to meet up with friends to watch movies on Saturday, but was not responding to phone calls or texts, her mother, Stacey Clark Robinault, told news station KHOU11. Robinault said that her daughter was last heard from on Friday evening.

On Saturday, Alexis' nude body was found off the side of a road in West Houston, Houston police said, according to a previous KHOU11 report. An investigation into Alexis' death is said to be ongoing.

Sharkey's friend Tanya Ricardo told KHOU11 that the influencer spent Thanksgiving at her house and last spoke with her around 6 p.m. on Friday. 

Ricardo explained that it was unusual for Sharkey not to respond quickly: "She is attached to her phone. She is a social media queen. She is an influencer. She works from her phone."

So when Alexis was unresponsive Saturday, her friends and family began to worry.

On Saturday, Alexis' mom posted a plea on Facebook, saying that her daughter had been missing for more than 24 hours. She said that she was alerted her daughter was missing by her son-in-law, Tom Sharkey, ABC 13 reported.

"We were notified on Saturday that she was missing by her husband," Robinault told the outlet, adding that Tom "called us up to let us know, and that's when, of course, any parent goes into full panic mode."
