Authorities in Texas are on the lookout for a mystery woman who went up to the front door of a home in the middle of the night and rang the doorbell with what looked like broken restraints still on both her wrists.

The woman was also partially dressed and looked frantic in the footage that was taken from the surveillance camera of the home in the Sunrise Ranch area in Montgomery, Texas.

In the footage, the woman can be seen coming to the front door of the house from behind a bush adjacent to the house. She was barefoot and wearing only a T-shirt with what looked like broken handcuffs hanging from her wrists. The video ends with her walking to the front of the house and ringing the doorbell while looking at the street.

An unnamed resident living on the same street told ABC News that the lady had gone up to several of the houses ringing the doorbell desperately but had vanished by the time they could all answer their doors. Another neighbor, Branson Golson, told the ABC Houston station KTRK in an interview: "I've got a 9-year-old daughter at home. It worries me what's going on in the neighborhood." 

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said that law enforcement officers had canvassed the neighborhood including conducting door-to-door interviews with the residents. They are currently looking into surveillance footage that they have collected from the neighborhood. Deputies have said that the incident shown in the footage took place at around 3:30 am on August 24.

The Sheriff's Office added: "Numerous citizens in the state and outside have sent missing persons flyers suggesting the women in the video is a missing person from their area. Deputies and Detectives are reviewing these flyers for any similarities, but as of now none are believed to be the women in the video."

The office has requested that anyone with any information about the mystery woman to please reach out to them at 936-760-5800.
