At 4:07 a.m. on May 14, 2024, Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office (CPSO) contacted Red River Communications
in reference to a missing Keithville woman. She was reported to have last been seen leaving home at
approximately 5:00 p.m. on May 13, 2024.

Information gained by CPSO investigators from the manufacturer of her vehicle led them to believe that
she may be in the vicinity of the Red River Bridge in Coushatta, Louisiana. Red River Parish Sheriff’s
Office (RRPSO) deputies were dispatched to the area where her unoccupied and unsecured vehicle was
located near the boat launch.

A search of the immediate area and shoreline yielded no signs of the missing female. An unidentified set
of footprints observed near the boat launch, however, led RRPSO investigators to believe that she may
have entered the water from the east bank of the river.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the Red River Fire Protection District were
contacted by Red River Communications to provide assistance to the RRPSO in organizing a river search
and rescue effort. Due to darkness, swift current, and debris in the river, the search began after daylight.
Boats from all three agencies were deployed.

Following a brief search, Red River Fire Department personnel located the subject. She was standing in a
marshy area along the west side of the river approximately one mile south of the bridge.

After boarding the rescue boat, she was taken to the boat launch and examined by Red River EMS
personnel. She was subsequently transported to Christus Coushatta hospital for evaluation.

She was interviewed by RRPSO investigators and no foul play is suspected.

Once medically cleared at Christus Coushatta hospital, she was transported by the RRPSO to a specialty
facility for further evaluation.
