Monday 27 July 2020

The Channel Islands Air Search plane was called out in the early hours of this morning to help find a missing 65-year-old woman.

The thermal imaging-equipped 2CIAS aircraft was spotted circulating at less than 2,000ft in the area of St. Martin and Grouville for around two hours before returning after 04:00.

The search came around two hours after Police reported on social media that they were “concerned for the welfare” of Elizabeth McDougall. 

The 65-year-old was reported missing last night just after 21:40.

Police said they had limited information about Ms McDougall's clothing at the time she went missing, but said she was believed to be wearing a green parka jacket.

She was last seen in the area of La Route de la Hougue Bie in St. Martin around 17:00 on Sunday 26 July.
