Search extends into the night for Pennsylvania woman who may have fallen into sinkhole
Summary
Authorities in Marguerite, Pennsylvania, are searching for Elizabeth Pollard, 64, who disappeared while looking for her cat. A nearby sinkhole, likely caused by abandoned coal mine subsidence, is the focus of the search.
Pollard’s car was found with her 5-year-old granddaughter unharmed inside.
A shoe was discovered 30 feet down the sinkhole, but no other signs of Pollard have been detected.
Crews are cautiously excavating unstable ground and exploring mine voids. The Pennsylvania DEP will investigate the sinkhole's cause after the search concludes.
