Helicopter finds missing woman

A woman who was reported missing from the Blockade Runner Beach Resort was found with the help of the Wilmington Police Department helicopter early on Monday, Sept. 26. The woman’s boyfriend reported her missing at about 12:54 a.m., Wrightsville Beach police said, and a search by officers near the hotel uncovered her cell phone and sandals by Public Beach Access No. 33. Officers searched the beach strand and called the town’s fire department over concerns that she may have gone into the water, before also notifying the U.S. Coast Guard and the Wilmington helicopter crew. The helicopter discovered a heat signature in the dunes, where officers found the woman asleep. Alcohol was likely a factor in the incident, police said, and the woman requested to be transported by EMS to the hospital.
