SHEFFIELD, Vt. – Vermont state police probing the disappearance of a 78-year-old grandmother are appealing for help from anyone who took photographs or video at a Labor Day event her son says she attended.
Pat O’Hagan was reported missing Sept. 11. Police believe the widow and grandmother of nine was abducted from her home in Sheffield, a town so small it has no stores and no stoplights.
Investigators on Sunday asked to hear from anyone who took pictures at the annual Sheffield Field Day event Sept. 6.
O’Hagan is from Chelmsford, Mass., but moved to northern Vermont 15 years ago. She lives alone and likes camping and kayaking. Authorities say she’s mentally alert and there’s no reason to believe she wandered off.
Detectives continued following up leads over the weekend. Area all-terrain vehicle clubs and volunteer fire departments pitched in.
