Kelly, an avid walker, is considered in good physical shape, but she suffers from short-term memory loss as a result of a brain aneurysm she suffered in 2002.
Five search teams with 150 volunteers covered more than 250 hectares since the search started Saturday near Kelly’s apartment in Perth-Andover.
A Cormorant military helicopter was called in Sunday and a fixed-wing aircraft joined the search Monday.
As well, volunteers on ATVs searched along 800 kilometres of trails, woods roads and abandoned railway lines.
