She’s good natured, quite, and according to police interviews, well-liked by all her co-workers. One of her co-workers, Rita Evans, director of nursing at Four Seasons Nursing Center, reported that she was quite and did her work well. She tells reporters that she didn’t look like the picture that was put out as her “missing person” picture. “Her hair was lighter and her face was thinner when she worked here”, Rita said.

Earlier, after deliberating for over three hours, the panel returned at 8:03 p.m. and found the 33-year-old Coulthrust guilty of going off course without authorization and using his personal cell phone while on duty on April 19, 2019, in contravention of the Coast Guard’s Standing Orders.

There is a reason why witnesses in that position have to be scrutinised,” he told the panel hearing the matter.
