First thread was started by Trisagion on Wed 30-Oct-13 15:18:17

"
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."

RIP Carol. x Flowers

Various French articles suggest that she seems to have fallen from quite a high cliff, so at least she didn't suffer. Sad Sad

So sorry to hear this, another lurker who had been hoping for good news.

Condolences to the family.

So sad to see this.
Condolences to Carols family and friends.

NorthernLurker · 06/11/2013 17:54

How sad. Hoping her family can find some comfort and peace amidst their grief. At least they've found her and have answers, though not the news they hoped for.

ZingWantsCake · 06/11/2013 17:56

yes duchesse that's roughly what I posted that earlier as well, having learnt it from a Facebook page Matthew Conyer posted.

In a way it must be a little bit comforting to know that there was nothing anyone could have done, even if a search had been successful 9 days ago IYSWIM.
it was a tragic accident no doubt, but hopefully she didn't suffer at all.

I will light more candles tonight.
