On Thursday morning, Game Wardens and detectives followed up on new, credible information received Wednesday evening of a possible sighting of the North Yarmouth school teacher. They said receiving the information was a surprise, and that they’re hopeful to make progress Thursday toward locating Westra.
Teams of search dogs are also returning to an area behind the Westra home, where MacDonald said brush and trees are so dense in some areas that objects only a few feet away are difficult to spot.
There has been no suggestion so far that Westra got into a vehicle, and all information so far points to her traveling on foot.
Although there is also no indication so far of foul play, detectives are exploring every possibility in their search for Westra.
