Lead develops in older missing woman case
An Ardoch, N.D., woman missing since October was last seen at a Missoula, Mont., gas station with another woman that law enforcement officials are now looking for, according to the Grand Forks Sheriff’s Department.
GRAND FORKS — An Ardoch, N.D., woman missing since October was last seen at a Missoula, Mont., gas station with another woman that law enforcement officials are now looking for, according to the Grand Forks Sheriff’s Department.
“This was a recent acquaintance,” said Sgt. Dan Hillebrand. “We have a possible name and we’re attempting to locate this individual.”
Florence Dumontet, 82, was on her way to Washington state when she went missing.
Montana law enforcement originally tracked her to a gas station in Butte, Mont., on the evening of Oct. 16, more than 15 hours after she left Ardoch early that morning.
But a manager at Muralt’s Travel Plaza in Missoula, 118 miles west of Butte, said he believes he saw Dumontet about 10 a.m. Oct. 17.
Montana officials have mounted multiple air searches for Dumontet and the 2008 black Lincoln Mark LT crew-cab pickup she was driving, focused on the stretch of highway from Butte to Missoula.
