Sex offender's girlfriend missing

A strange twist of events leads police searching for a Volusia County woman.

Sherriff's deputies are looking for Jacqueline Delrey, 42, who has been missing since Monday.

Investigators went to a home on Old New York Avenue near DeLand where Delrey lived with Gerry Orr, 40.

Orr, a convicted sex offender, was under investigation after another woman accused him of sexual battery and false imprisonment.

Deputies went to the home shortly after noon Monday to serve a search warrant as part of the sexual battery investigation. But just as deputies began arriving, Orr shot himself.

Deputies found Delrey's purse, her dog and the license plate from her vehicle at the house, but no sign of the woman.

Delrey is 5'1" and has brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Volusia County Sheriff's Office at (386) 736-5999.
