Breitbart; An intense search is underway for a Pennsylvania grandmother who authorities believe has been trapped in a deep sinkhole connected to an unstable abandoned mine since Monday.
Family members of Elizabeth Pollard, 64, called authorities at around 1:00 a.m. Tuesday to say that she and her five-year-old granddaughter had not returned since going out to look for her missing cat the prior afternoon, CNN reported.
Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Steve Limani confirmed that Pollard’s car was later found parked near a restaurant in Unity Township — with the granddaughter alone inside.
A fresh sinkhole was discovered just steps away from the car.
“We, at that point in time, realized that this could be a very bad situation,” Limani told reporters. more
The area in SE Michigan where I live as is the Detroit area is nothing but underground salt caverns.
There used to be a Morton salt factory a couple miles from where I live and there is still a Diamond Crystal factory in our county.
Much of the old mines/caverns are now used to store natural gas.
prayers fo her.

Sorry to hear of it.

Found her. She was in the sinkhole. RIP

I betcha Jimmy Hoffa, what’s left of him, is down there at the bottom of one of those salt mines. OTOH, salt is a meat preservative. If someone finds him, he may look about the same as the day he got bumped off. Holy crap!
