After four days of searching, a missing Innisfail woman has been located by rescue teams alive and in good spirits, according to RCMP.

The RCMP say their helicopter located Lorraine Vandenbosch Thursday morning at approximately 9:30 a.m. walking out of a heavily wooded area near the Dickson Trout Pond.

They confirm she is receiving precautionary medical attention and is currently with her family.

“Late Thursday afternoon, RCMP offered further clarification:

“Upon locating Lorraine as she emerged from a heavily wooded area, rescue teams had difficulties transporting her due to a steep embankment,” they say. “Alberta RCMP Air Services were again up to the task in supporting rescue efforts by landing in the difficult location and transporting Lorraine. She was taken for medical assessment and ultimately transported by STARS to hospital. Lorraine remains confused about her ordeal and RCMP have few details at this time.”

They also thanked the Spruceview Bakery and Red Deer Costco who provided food to the teams.

“This support allowed the rescue teams to continue working long hours,” Mounties said in a release.
