The Kanabec County Sheriff’s Office is the lead agency for this search and has been asked to request neighboring sheriff office search and rescue teams as well as the Minnesota State Patrol and the Civil Air Patrol associated personnel and aircraft.

United Legacy, a non-profit search and rescue organization that aids and assists in missing person cases, is helping the Nyberg family with this search.

[...]

“Normally, we do not get involved unless a person is last seen on foot,” Schroeder said. “But with this particular case, we made an exception because the family reached out. They were incredibly overwhelmed. Law enforcement wanted us to help bridge that gap. We will be organizing searches tomorrow [Monday] and will be treating this like one of our normal searches, except for this will be mobile.”

[...]

If the vehicle involved in Nyberg’s disappearance is found, Schroeder said that United Legacy will help to coordinate a ground search after law enforcement has canvassed the area. “If that happens, we will follow their lead,” Schroeder said.

[...]

Volunteers should arrive when then can and stay as long as possible, Schroeder said. A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided at the church. Donations of water and store-bought snacks/meals are welcomed and appreciated.

This is so sad. Mrs. Nyberg had stopped at someone's home looking for directions. I wonder what went through her demented mind that caused her to turn into a corn field? Poor soul. Rest in peace, Ms. Andy.

Missing 80-year-old woman found dead
According to a press release from the Isanti County Sheriff’s Office, their emergency communications center received a call from someone at around 12:30 p.m. Monday, saying they could see a red car in a cornfield near Cambridge. When deputies arrived, they located the car deep into the cornfield, where they found a woman, later identified as Nyberg.

Smith said residents of rural Hudson, Iowa say an elderly woman driving a red vehicle and matching Nyberg’s description came to their door Sunday night between 9 and 10 p.m. asking for help in finding a hotel. The residents didn’t think much about it until they logged onto social media Monday morning, and learned about the case.

Hudson is in northeastern Iowa, not far from both Waterloo and Cedar Falls. Smith says authorities in Blackhawk County checked hotel parking lots in both communities, but did not see the car Nyberg is thought to be driving.
