Due to her being in a vehicle, K9 teams do not feel they would be helpful at this time
️Best ways to help:
1) Check in at Westfield Community Center to get assigned search route. Make sure you’re checking along/over banks not just on the roadways.
2) Check any of your personal cameras that show roadways for vehicle matching description driving by and provide date time and direction of travel to family in charge of search party.If any business or ring camera looks toward the road can review footage from Friday 5 am. If we can see where she was or no sign of her on the the road, we can reconstruct where she was headed. House and Cemetaries are checked several times a day for her possible return to those places.
3) SPREAD THE WORD! Share her picture, vehicle description and plate!
4) If you see someone matching her description or vehicle matching description – TRY TO IDENTIFY/VERIFY PLATE FIRST AND CALL 911 IF FOUND!!!
5. If you see something suspicious call us or Justin with the drone to check it out. If you find the car and verify the plate do not approach unless obvious signs of life. Call 911, then try to get us. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES AND POST ON FACEBOOK. The police and resque need to have room for them to get to you and secure the area.
We really really appreciate all who are trying to find her for us. Vicki
