"
This is to ask for the help of all Mumsnet members, most especially anyone who lives in the Haute Savoie departement.

One of our members, Carol Sheridan, is missing. She is a keen and intrepid hiker and explores the high mountains of the area. She is experienced and resourceful but neither her family nor many friends have had any communication with her since Saturday 27 October.

She may be lost or perhaps had an accident and be awaiting rescue.

She is 73, five foot five tall and drives a black Fiat Panda registration AZ522AP

If you have any information on Carol's whereabouts or the location of her car please contact French Police and her daughter Fiona Conyers [note from MNHQ, we've now removed the email address to respect the family's wish for privacy]

HQ are hoping to post the MISSING poster circulated by her family on here."

FIRST THREAD IS HERE

SECOND THREAD IS HERE

Zing - my internet still dodgy - grrrrrrrrrrr.

I've been talking to SarahMumsnet (via pm, as I can't do emails) and have asked to make this third thread both sticky (so no bumping needed) and into discussion of the day (DOTD), instead of the second thread as that is nearly full.

she said she'll do it asap - and I asked her to confirm when it's done, so people will not need to guess/ask anymore

just clicked on thread in DOTD and this one came up - wow, fast work Sarah, thank you so much!

bump anyway

Tweeted everything I can think of again this morning.

Checking in for some news :(

suddenly everyone is gone...

Im here. This doesn't need a lot of bumping asits at tge top x

&

I'm glad to hear that Interpol are involved now.

This thread should last way longer than the other 2 if it's stickied - it'll save it from being bumped all the time.

My fingers are still firmly crossed that Carol is found soon. Xxx

yes, I've just seen on my phone app that it is on top of the Active list.

Hello over here.

Not wanting to raise false hope, but this has been posted on a French website, talk about the car being found. It's been posted today... absolutely no idea if it is accurate. I deeply hope it is.

It seems that her car has been found!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scroll down the facebook page - don't know why it appears like that but the other French link does as well.

I hope this is correct - I've waited 10 mins or so to post.

will this work?

I can't speak French, can anyone translate that please?

Hope she's managed to do a Bear Grylls as her granddaughter says she can. Likelihood is that she's incapacitated in some way a far way from her car though.

Google translate and GCSE French tells me it says...

"A week after the disappearance of Carol Sheridan, her black Fiat Panda was found in a parking lot at the start of a hiling trail in Mieussy.
The police in Bonneville will start further searches in this area. The Brit of 73 years moved to Habère-poche three years ago. Passionate about the mountains, she has not been heard from since Oct. 27."

Sorry, that was a translation of the story in my link, not magimedi's. perhaps someone with better French can translate magi's?

The gendarmes have announced that they've found her car in a car park in Mieussy, but that meteorological conditions make it impossible to get the helicopter in the air at the moment. Gendarmes, firefighters and specialist mountain rescue gendarmes are out there searching for her though.

In magi's link it talks at the end of the weather being too bad for a helicopter, but soliders, police and firemen have been deployed.

Oh ignore me, duchesse is better at french

Thank goodness they've found the car. Let's hope for some good news soon...
