Crews are searching for Elizabeth Pollard. Troopers found her vehicle parked behind Monday’s Union Restaurant, where they found Pollard’s 5-year-old granddaughter inside. Near Pollard’s vehicle, troopers noticed a sinkhole. State police said they are performing search and rescue efforts with the assumption she fell down the hole.

“We’re just pretty much wanting the community’s prayers at this time and give us the support. They’re looking for the best outcome… but that’s all we are asking for is support,” Pollard’s niece Tabitha Pollard said.
