Lacey Mann has been found. The 33-year-old Shongaloo woman  was located shortly before 3 p.m. Wednesday, according to Webster Parish Sheriff Jason Parker.

“She appears to be a little dehydrated but there are no apparent serious injuries,” Parker said. “EMT will be checking her and she will be transported if needed.”

Mann was first reported missing from her residence on LA Alt. Hwy 2 residence around 9 a.m. Tuesday. Efforts to locate her in heavily wooded areas continued into the night and early morning hours.

Searchers employed drones, K-9 trackers, four-wheelers and side-by-sides in their efforts to locate Ms. Mann.

“This was a great team effort with no quit,” said Maj. Bobby Igo III, coordinator of the search effort.

Parker said multiple agencies and individuals were involved in the successful search. In addition to the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office, agencies include the Louisiana State Police, Wade Correctional, Drone Management (Arkansas), Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office and Shongaloo and Cotton fire departments.

“We also want to thank all the private citizens who assisted with their time and equipment,” Parker said.
