The New Brunswick RCMP has further expanded the search for a missing Oak Haven woman who disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
Police say no one has seen or heard from 53-year-old Dorothy Tucker since before 10 p.m. on Nov. 9. She was reported missing the following day.
Investigators say evidence found at Tucker’s McGeachy Lane home suggests foul play may have been involved in her disappearance, but they won’t say what that evidence is.
Last week, more than two dozen officers with the RCMP major crime unit and St. Stephen RCMP, as well as a K9 unit, searched Tucker’s Oak Haven home and scoured the dense woodland around it.
An RCMP helicopter also conducted an aerial search in the area.
Police expanded their search to the Bayside area on the weekend. RCMP divers searched the waters off the wharf in Bayside on Sunday, and a helicopter scoured the area.
An extensive search was also conducted in the Waweig area.
Tucker is roughly five-foot-five and has a medium build. She has shoulder-length auburn hair, blue eyes and wears glasses. She may have been wearing a navy sweater, dark-coloured jeans with rips and tan-coloured boots.
Anyone with information on her disappearance is asked to contact St. Stephen RCMP at 1-888-506-RCMP (7267) or N.B. Crime Stoppers at www.crimenb.ca or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
