0900 callout for missing 91 yo female in Snohomish. We deployed one trailing, one cadaver and three airscent teams, having responded with 7 personnel total. The subject had last been seen two days before, in the evening, at her residence. Jon Wieringa & Loki worked a trail from the residence to a swampy area just over 150 yards from the residence. Jon noted Loki's behavior in this area and identified this area to search command. Based on Jon's recommendation, they deployed divers into this swampy area and they located the subject, deceased.
