After days of searching, missing Alberta woman rescued by helicopter Video supplied by the RCMP.
In a media release, RCMP said that following days of searching, crews found Lorraine Vandenbosch on Thursday morning. RCMP said Vandenbosch went missing Monday from Dickson Point Campground at Gleniffer Lake. Special Const. Al Miller, who flew the rescue helicopter, said Vandenbosch was identified as best as possible from the air."We do a lot of this, and so any time we find somebody it's certainly a happy feeling, that's for sure," Miller said.
Miller said an assessment was made by crews and paramedics on the ground, who determined Vandenbosch couldn't be walked out, and carrying her out was precarious as well due to the area's steep slope.
