Missing Woman Likely Fell into Sinkhole while Searching for Cat

Elizabeth Pollard**, a 64-year-old woman from Pennsylvania, went missing while searching for her cat near a freshly opened sinkhole. Her vehicle was found nearby with her five-year-old granddaughter unharmed. After two days of digging through mud and rock, authorities have shifted the search operation to a recovery effort. Despite the efforts of rescue crews, oxygen levels below ground are insufficient, and there have been no signs of life. The abandoned mine where she is believed to have fallen is unstable, making the search even more challenging. The searchers have met with Ms. Pollard's family to inform them of the shift in focus.
