The official ground search for a missing 79-year-old in Grand Bay-Westfield has been suspended.
Ruth Carol Sutton, who also goes by Carol, was last seen walking along Mallard Drive on Sunday morning.
Police said Sutton suffers from a medical condition which may cause her to become disoriented.
In the days since her disappearance, searches have taken place on land, in the water and from the air.
Grand Bay-Westfield Mayor Brittany Merrifield confirmed the suspension of the official ground search in a social media post.
“While this part of the operation is on hold, I want to reassure everyone that search teams are ready to redeploy if new evidence comes to light,” Merrifield wrote.
“Community volunteers are still welcome to continue their efforts. I understand that some are planning to head out in boats [Wednesday], and I deeply respect and appreciate the continued determination to help.
Merrifield said volunteers will be focusing the search on the water and shoreline, specifically on the Nerepis side of the bridge.
