Newfoundland woman’s search for missing California couple comes to difficult end

LEWISPORTE, N.L. — A Newfoundland woman who launched a desperate bid to find family members missing thousands of kilometres away in a fire-ravaged California town says the search has come to a difficult end.

Megan Janes says her aunt and uncle, Paradise residents Paula and Randy Dodge, are no longer missing but also “no longer with us.”

In a post on Twitter, she says her family has “found our answer” and asks for prayers as they get through this “very difficult time.”

Janes adds that her “heart is quite heavy” but that “God will see us through.”
