DETROIT LAKES (KFGO-AM) - Search teams are covering rugged terrain 16 miles northeast of Detroit Lakes, looking for Melissa Eagleshield. She disappeared October 2nd, last seen near her home at Island Lake.
Extensive ground and air searches for the 42-year old woman were conducted last fall before being called off because of winter weather.
Becker County Sheriff Todd Glander says they waited until the snow was gone to give searchers better access to woods and marsh areas.
He says so far, there's nothing pointing to foul play in Eagleshield's disappearance. She was known to have medical problems.
About two dozen law enforcement officers, first responders and family members are involved in today's search.
