BRUCE AND SUSAN FAST

BRADENTON, Fla. — Investigators say they have few clues as to the whereabouts of missing Florida construction company owner Susan Fast, who has been missing for three days.

And the more time that goes by, the more authorities are worry whether they will find her alive.

"As hours and days go by, it gets less hopeful," Dave Bristow, spokesman for the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, told the Bradenton Herald Monday. "But there's always hope."

Fast's stepson, Thomas Fast, who was arrested recently on a separate concealed weapons charge, is considered a person of interest by police because he was the last person believed to have seen her, reports FOX affiliate WTVT.

His criminal history includes convictions for petit theft, worthless checks and prostitution-related charges. His bail was raised to $100,000 on Sunday morning.

"He admits that he was there at the house and spoke with her at 5 p.m. ... so that's essentially the last person that may have seen her, and so we do suspect foul play because she hasn't made any contact," Manatee County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Major Connie Shingledecker told My FOX Tampa Bay.

CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATORS

MANATEE --
Tara resident Bruce Fast said he and his wife have been living in fear for the past three months because of "open threats" from relatives.

Late Friday night, those fears might have been realized.

Returning from a business trip to the Bahamas shortly before midnight, he found his wife and her 2008 Lexus sport utility vehicle missing from their home in the 7500 block of Bird's Eye Terrace.

At 12:15 a.m. Saturday, he called 911.

Susan Fast, he said Saturday afternoon, is "not the type of person to go out and wander around.

"She's a very professional woman," he said, declining to elaborate on the nature of the threats the couple had received.

The couple are co-owners of Construction Team Management LLC, based in Bradenton but also with an office on Fruitville Road in Sarasota County.

Susan Fast's vehicle was found about 3 p.m. Saturday parked in front of a vacant home at 603 11th Ave. E.

Earlier that morning, Thomas Fast, Susan Fast's 52-year-old stepson, was arrested on a concealed weapons charge after being interviewed by detectives who found his car in a parking lot off State Road 70.
