Zoey Dorsey was last seen on Wednesday afternoon at her home near Brookings. She was found in the woods Thursday night about a mile from her home, crying. Dorsey was taken to the hospital. Approximately 100 volunteers helped search for her. --------------- The Oregon Army National Guard has launched an OH-58 Kiowa helicopter to Curry County in support of the Curry County Sherriff's Office search for four year old Zoey Dorsey, who was reported missing Wednesday afternoon. The search is centered around an area about two miles east of Brookings near the Chetco River. According to the Brookings Police Department, Dorsey was reported missing from her residence at about 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, located at the top of Mountain Drive. The Oregon Army National Guard's OH-58 helicopter lifted off from Salem at approximately 5:30 a.m. Thursday morning. The aircraft is equipped with Forward-Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) technology, which allows the pilot to find persons by distinguishing their body heat from trees, terrain and other obstacles. It also improves visibility both at night and in adverse weather conditions. The Curry County Sheriff's Department is the lead agency coordinating all search efforts. They are planning to hold a press conference at 12:00 p.m. today, at the Brookings Police Department located at 307 3rd Avenue, Brookings, Ore. Most Popular
