Crews recover the body of a woman from a Pennsylvania sinkhole after a 4-day search
Associated PressThe remains of a woman who fell into a sinkhole were recovered Friday, four days after she went missing while searching for her cat, a state police spokesperson said. Trooper Steve Limani said the body of 64-year-old Elizabeth Pollard was sent to the Westmoreland County Coroner’s Office for an autopsy after rescuers used machinery to bring her to the surface. Limani said Pollard apparently fell onto a cone-shaped pile of debris created by the crumbling mine, then rolled or otherwise moved toward the southwest to where her body was recovered. The people of Unity Township are sad today.” Pollard’s family reported her missing around 1 a.m. Tuesday as the temperature in the area dropped below freezing. Police said they found Pollard’s car parked about 20 feet from the sinkhole with her 5-year-old granddaughter inside.
