A search for an Alberta woman last seen Saturday in the Golden, B.C. area is ongoing. On Monday, police said an RCMP helicopter will be used to support the search effort.
Sheila Scrutton is from Rocky Mountain House, Alta. and was reported missing on Sunday. She was last seen leaving Kinbasket Lake — a reservoir on the Columbia River — on Saturday. Police said they believe she had been camping there. She was last seen by other campers.
“Police and her family are concerned for her well-being as it is out of character for her to have no contact with her family for this length of time,” the RCMP said in a news release. “A search is ongoing with the assistance of Golden and District Search and Rescue.”
Police said Scrutton’s family became concerned when they didn’t hear from her because she had been checking in with them every night.
Scrutton is believed to be driving a red 2016 Ford F-150 bearing Alberta licence plate EJJ-117.
Anyone with more information on Scrutton’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Golden-Field RCMP detachment at 250.344.2221.
The RCMP said its search efforts would resume on Tuesday.
