As the snow melted and search conditions improved, searches resumed in wooded areas and trails around Brunswick.
This morning, Saturday, March 21st, Rebecca was located by members of the Maine Warden Service and Maine Association for Search and Rescue. She was found in a wooded area near some walking trails. Her death is not considered to be suspicious.
UPDATE: Due to the ongoing missing person search of Rebecca Dorr of Brunswick, the Brunswick Parks & Recreation Department says trails over weekend, March 21-22, will be closed.
The Maine Warden Service will be assisting other search and rescue organizations, including K-9 teams and snowmobile units, in their effort to locate Dorr.
Residents are cautioned to stay off the trails at the Town Commons in Brunswick on the west side of Route 123, as well as the Perimeter Trail on the east side of Route 123 between Wilson Street gate and Merriconeag Road parking lot.
Additional human scents will interfere with K-9 search and rescue efforts.
