Days after a 76-year-old woman went missing from her Thompson home, the Geauga County Sheriff's Office is organizing a community search for Wednesday and are asking for volunteers.

Susan Taylor has been missing since March 17. Sheriff's deputies say Taylor was at her property that morning, and had texted her son to let him know she would be leaving soon.

“He typically goes out there on the weekends, so when he got there, she wasn’t there, and he didn’t expect her to be there. But her car was there, her cell phone was there, and her purse was there, and he couldn’t find her anywhere,” Geauga County Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand told 3News' Isabel Lawrence.

Wednesday's search is set to begin at 8 a.m. Volunteers are asked to meet at St. Patrick's Catholic Church on 16550 Rock Creek Road in Thompson between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. for check in. The search will cover a large wilderness area.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, have a valid photo ID with them to check in, and be physically capable of walking through thick marsh/wetland terrain. Participants need to bring appropriate clothing and gear to remain self-sufficient in this terrain for four hours. This search must be conducted on foot, please do not bring any ATV type vehicles, horses or animals of any kind.
