“Lost No More: How a Drone’s Unexpected Discovery Changed the Search for the Missing Woman Forever”
They didn’t know why she would wander into the Diamond Canyon area or where she would have gone.
An Aerial Team Came Into The Mix
It took several months, but the department finally put together a team comprised of a Utah County Sheriff’s Office sergeant, a search and rescue coordinator, and a group from a nonprofit aerial search organization.
They hoped to find some evidence leading them to the missing woman, which would help them locate her.
Covering More Ground
The team began searching with high hopes that she was still in the Diamond Canyon area. The aerial team had brought along a drone, something that would help them cover way more ground in a shorter amount of time.
Unfortunately, on their first attempt to use the technology, it crashed.
The Drone Crashed
Speaking of the crash to Fox 13, Sergeant Cannon said, “They sent the drone up, and apparently, on one of its first passes, the drone crashed. So they went up looking for the drone that had crashed…”
They didn’t anticipate the crashed drone actually helping them in their efforts to find the missing woman.
There Was A Tent At The Crash Site
When the team set off to retrieve the crashed drone, they stumbled upon a tent. “So they went up looking for the drone that had crashed, and in doing that, they came across another small campsite where there was a tent,” Sergeant Cannon told Fox 13.
