Search continues for Tift County woman
Authorities search Fletcher Road area for signs of Sunday Blombergh
Angie Thompson/Senior Reporter CNHI
TIFTON — Volunteers with Tift Area Rescue searched a creek off Fletcher Road Thursday for signs of a missing Tifton woman as a Georgia State Patrol helicopter also searched from the air for Sunday Blombergh, who disappeared from her southern Tift County residence April 22.
Nothing was found, which didn’t disappoint a GBI agent involved in the case.
“Hopefully it ends up the other way,” said Mark Pro, assistant special agent in charge at the GBI’s Sylvester office.
Pro said late Thursday that no specific tip led to the search and that law enforcement agents are searching areas that Blombergh frequented before her disappearance.
“We are trying to look at any kind of place Sunday might have been,” said Pro.
Pro said no suspects have been identified in the case.
“We are just trying to locate her,” Pro said. “It’s a missing person case and that’s how we are working it.”
Pro said that many people have been interviewed by law enforcement agents involved in the case, including family members and others who had contact with Blombergh since she moved to the Tifton area.
Bobby Bennett, who is a Tifton firefighter and volunteers with Tift Area Rescue, said he and other volunteers — including fellow firefighters, paramedics and officers with the Tifton Police Department and the Tift County Sheriff’s Office — boarded a small boat at the creek off Fletcher Road and searched the shallow water. The search ended at the wastewater treatment plant, he said.
Bennett said Tift County Sheriff Gary Vowell asked for the team’s assistance in the search.
Pro urged anyone with any information in the case to call the tip line at 388-6033; the GBI, Sylvester, office at 777-2080; or the TCSO at 388-6020.
