The Stutsman County Sheriff's Office is searching for a Buchanan woman who has been missing since Sunday night, according to Chad Kaiser, Stutsman County sheriff.

Sonia Heinle, 63, did not return to her home after visiting her son's home about two miles away Sunday evening.

Kaiser said the search has been going on much of Monday afternoon.

"Land, water and air," he said. "No clues, but there is a lot of water out here."

Wonder if she has a cell phone they can track, she left her son's which is 2 miles away, not much distance IMO.

2 miles, not a terribly large distance to cover...but who’s to say she wasn’t going directly home, etc?
MOO

Only two miles away, very tiny town, and LE concerned about the bodies of water. Weather deadly cold.

Added: Satellite view shows 79th Ave and 25th Streets crossing ponds, also some smaller ponds near the access roads along Hwy 52. The water areas are out of town but looks like within 2 miles. IMO

Her son must be worried sick I found an obituary from earlier this year and it may be for her husband. I hope she isn't depressed if it her husband passed away. The holidays can really be difficult. FWIW here is a link to the obituary for the man and it does say his wife's name is "Sonia".

How sad. I hope she’s okay. That water bothers me. Two miles and she disappeared. I fear she missed her turn or something and ended up in the water. I really hope I’m wrong. JMO

Google maps just showed one decent sized pond down hear 79th and 25th but it's a far bit away from the road. خرائط ‪Google‬‏‏

I wonder who she lived with?
Who saw her leave? Did she visit with son and someone else?
I do hope she is found, but where could she be?

Authorities have found the vehicle of a missing Stutsman County woman.

Stutsman County Sheriff Chad Kaiser confirmed that dive crews are currently working to pull a car out from a slough.

Vehicle of missing Stutsman County woman found

The vehicle submerged in water belongs to Sonia Heinle, 63, who was driving it Sunday night before she went missing.

Sheriff Kaiser said the vehicle was located Tuesday morning near Heinle’s home and it appears Sunday’s weather played a factor in the vehicle ending up in the slough.

The recent cold snap has made the search efforts difficult, according to the sheriff. Search crews are working to determine if a body is inside.

Tragic. So terribly sad.

Oh no, prayers for her family!!

After looking at the satellite view, I'm not surprised, but still it's so sad. My guess is she has passed.

 

[KatzEye]

Sad that the article above says the vehicle was found near her home. Almost made it home.

 

[Seajay]

Well, if her car is in the slough, she can’t be far from it. Tragic and sad.

Missing woman’s vehicle found but not recovered

While her car was found submerged in a slough, icy conditions prevented divers from being able to hook up to the car and bring it to the surface, as cold temperatures affected the diving equipment.

LE added that when darkness set in, the recovery of the car was suspended until daylight, Wednesday.

LE says, until the car is recovered it won’t be known if her body is still in the car.

LE said it appears she went off the roadway into the the slough when she misjudged a turn off into her driveway during snowy,windy conditions.

How terribly sad. Right at her driveway...

God rest her soul and help her family.

This is just heartbreaking
