YORK, Maine A woman who was reported missing Tuesday evening after she went for a walk with a dog, was later found dead along a wooded walking trail, according to the York Police Department.
York police Detective Sgt. Thomas Cryan said police have no reason to suspect foul play, nor is there any reason for safety concerns in the community.
Police had asked the public for help to locate 66-year-old Deborah Kolbjornsen, after she did not return from her walk when expected, prompting a missing person report about 6:15 p.m. She was a retired teacher from the Oyster River Cooperative School District in New Hampshire.
YORK, Maine In recognition of the important emergency transportation services provided to town residents by the York Ambulance Association, the York Community Services Association said it will donate up to $20,000 in matching funds to YAA during the month of May.
National Emergency Medical Services Week is May 16-22, and YCSA Executive Director Michelle Surdoval said her team wanted to help YAA raise money toward the purchase of a new ambulance.
“We received a significant grant from a donor who asked that we use the money to help York seniors,” Surdoval said.
Surdoval and her staff were concerned that local seniors who need emergency transportation have not been calling 911 because of concern they could not afford to pay for any portion of the ambulance trip not covered by insurance.
