Jersey gal is missing

A 25-year-old New Jersey woman vanished from her home nearly a week ago after a girls’ night out to see a psychic.

Stephanie Parze (inset) went to see medium Cindy Kaza’s show at the Stress Factory Comedy Club in New Brunswick with her mom, three sisters and other female relatives Wednesday evening, her dad, Edward Parze, told The Post on Monday.

After the event, Stephanie went back to her parents’ house with her mom Sharlene, kissed her good night and, at around 10:30 p.m., headed to her own house seven miles away in Freehold Township.

On the drive home, she sent her mom a Snapchat photo of herself, the family said. That was the last contact the couple had with their daughter.

“She’s not the type of kid that would do anything without telling us,” Edward said.

The parents didn’t hear from Stephanie Thursday morning, so they drove to her house and found her car in the driveway, Edward said. Thinking she’d just overslept, they left and then returned that evening.

“We couldn’t find her,” Edward added. “My wife pinged her phone and it rang and [we] found it inside the couch.”

On their daughter’s phone were messages from the people she worked for, saying: “Hi Steph, you didn’t show up this morning where are you?” “My wife lost it at that point,” Edward said — and the couple reported Stephanie missing to authoritie­s.

Stephanie, who is brunette and stands 4 feet, 11 inches tall, was last seen in blue jeans, a burgundy Vneck and sweater.

The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and Freehold Township Police are investigat­ing.
