MONTGOMERY, Texas (AP) — Authorities in Texas are trying to find a woman who was captured on video ringing a doorbell in the middle of the night. It happened early Friday in Montgomery when a resident shared the video with the sheriff’s office. The video shows a barefoot young woman wearing a T-shirt and what could be broken restraints around her wrists. The woman was gone before the resident got to the door. The sheriff’s office says it has received numerous reports that the woman is a missing person. However, authorities have not verified that.<doc-sep>While it was posted that the substance is likely ash is from Volcano Shiveluch, they are a number of volcanoes that are currently active. The source of the material has not been scientifically confirmed. According to a story posted by The Spokesman Review: "One meteorologist speculated that the dirt was volcanic ash that got into the atmosphere from Mexico." We have received reports of 'white stuff' on vehicles. The ash is more than likely from Volcano Shiveluch in Kamchatka Krai, Russia, which spewed an ash plume to about the 22,000-foot level in late January. It has been deposited in a wide spread area, including Washington and Oregon.

Japan is investigating nearly a dozen suspicious boats recently found drifting off the country's coastline, some with decaying bodies aboard, officials said on November 27, as media speculated they came from North Korea. At least 11 cases involving wooden boats -- some badly damaged -- with 20 bodies on board have been reported during October and November.

The department said it is not naming the woman because she is a victim of domestic violence and sexual assault. “We are confident, based on the totality of the circumstances, and the evidence available to us, that we have identified the female in the doorbell video and that she is safe,” Lt. Scott Spencer said in a news conference on Thursday. “She’s very distraught about this, she’s embarrassed, she’s upset, she’s in shock that this has come to this.” CNN affiliate KPRC reported that a barefoot woman apparently visited at least five houses in the Sunrise Ranch neighborhood in the early morning of August 24. The incident alarmed residents, leading law enforcement to investigate what they called a “suspicious incident.” Police released surveillance footage of the woman approaching a home. The grainy video, captured around 3:20 a.m. on August 24, shows a woman walking up to a house and ringing the doorbell. She’s wearing a T-shirt, and appears to have some sort of shackle hanging from her right wrist. The woman told detectives the restraints were like those typically used in “private intimate encounters,” Spencer said. The woman told a detective that her boyfriend used them to tie her up. She broke free and went from one house to another, ringing doorbells in search of help, Spencer said. When no one answered she went back to the residence. On Wednesday, her boyfriend was found dead, Spencer said. Deputies responded to a home in Sunrise Ranch and met a woman who said she had received troubling messages from her ex-husband, Spencer said. Inside the home, they found a 49-year-old man dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The man’s girlfriend was not at the home when deputies arrived, the statement said. But she was confirmed to be the woman in the video. “The female that we have all been looking for has been identified and is safe. She is currently outside Montgomery County and our investigators will be meeting with her to continue the investigation,” the statement said. Authorities reviewed various images and canvassed the neighborhood for evidence. Officers inspected houses and conducted interviews with people who live and work in the area. “We were dead asleep in our beds. My husband was woken up by the doorbell ring. It rang probably 20 to 30 times,” one resident, who did not want to be named, told CNN affiliate KPRC. “He walked outside, no one was in sight. It’s like she disappeared in thin air.” CNN’s Jamiel Lynch contributed to this report.<doc-sep>The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office is investigating the suspicious incident that occurred in Montgomery, Texas.

Police say she is a domestic violence victim and are not revealing her name. What the video showed captured the attention of major media outlets around the world. It was taken in the Sunrise Ranch neighborhood at around 3:20 a.m. on August 24. A resident of the neighborhood, who wished not to be named, told CNN affiliate KPRC, “We were dead asleep in our beds. My husband was woken up by a doorbell ring. It rang probably 20 to 30 times. She walked outside, no one was in sight. It’s like she disappeared in thin air.” The woman reportedly rang several residents’ doorbells throughout the night.
