A 55-year-old Oak Shores’ woman reported missing early Tuesday morning was found Wednesday afternoon unharmed hiding in a nearby house
Officers with the Montague County Sheriff’s Office, Nocona Rural Volunteer Fire Department and the Texas Game Warden conducted the search after Brenda Gann’s husband, Alan, reported her missing about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Chief Deputy Jack Lawson said they found some of her clothing and cell phone going toward the lake near their home on Pine Street. They also found footprints near the water and were concerned she may have gone in the water.
Firefighters from the Nocona Rural VFD used a drone to search from the air, while officers walked the land and State Game Warden Chase McAninich put his boat into the lake to search with sonar. The main search stopped about 1 p.m. Tuesday.
Lawson said the woman was found around noon on Wednesday and appeared to be physically unharmed, but was receiving medical assistance. She was found in a nearby house after she called 911 to report someone was trying to harm her.
