'Bring her home': Missing Oakland woman's husband speaks out

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- More than two weeks after an Oakland business owner disappeared from her home, we are now hearing from her husband for the first time.

"Amy's superpower is to bring out the best in people. She made me a better person. She makes most people she comes in contact with a better person. She's able to bring out everyone's superpowers. Now, we need those powers to bring her home," said Chris, Amy Hillyard's husband.

Fifty-two-year-old Amy Hillyard left her home in the Cleveland Heights neighborhood near Lake Merritt on March 25.
