CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine – About 130 people, some with dogs, horses, ATVs and aircraft, searched Saturday for a Tennessee woman who disappeared while hiking the Appalachian Trail in Maine.
Maine Warden Service Corp. John MacDonald said investigators made contact with some hikers who may be able help as they try to determine if Geraldine Largay, 66, of Brentwood, Tenn., was seen in an area of western Maine between two shelters.
It was sunny with temperatures in the low 80s as searchers, among them wardens, forest rangers, horseback teams, the U.S. Border and Civil Air patrols, looked for Largay.
Largay was supposed to meet her husband Monday in Wyman Township but never showed up.
The 5-foot-5, 115-pound Largay, an experienced hiker, was last seen wearing a black pullover shirt, tan pants, a blue hat and a black-and-green backpack.
