Last Updated: 1 hour ago
BROCKVILLE The search for a missing 80-year-old Brockville woman intensified Wednesday afternoon, with OPP divers searching the Back Pond and a Brockville youth, arrested in Ottawa in possession of the woman's vehicle, appearing in court here.
As first reported on the Recorder and Times website, city police first sought the public's help on Tuesday in locating Valerie Xavier, 80, who was last heard from at home, at 820 Laurier Boulevard, on Sunday at 8 p.m.
On Monday, Ottawa police found and seized Xavier's vehicle in that city and arrested a 16-year-old Brockville male who was in possession of it, police revealed Wednesday.
The youth was taken to Brockville, where he appeared in court and was released on bail.
On Tuesday, city police asked for help from the Ontario Provincial Police, who brought in their emergency response team and helicopter, which could also be seen over Brockville on Wednesday.
Both the city police and OPP canine units were in Brockville Wednesday afternoon conducting a search. An OPP underwater search and recovery unit from Gravenhurst arrived on Wednesday afternoon and checked the Mac Johnson Wildlife Area off McLarry Road, just north of the city limits.
A few hours later, they called off the pond search, after finding nothing, said OPP Sgt. Kristine Rae. They continued to search the forested area near the back pond for clues.
