LEE — The search for a missing New York woman is entering its second week, with rescuers having found no sign of her.
Lee Police Chief Craig DeSantis said the search for Meghan Marohn continues to focus on the 2-square-mile area that includes Longcope Park and the area southwest of the park off Church Street in South Lee.
“Some areas are extremely thick and with the dense terrain we could walk right past her,” DeSantis said. “We will continue to focus on the 2-square-mile area, especially where there last was cellphone activity.”
