Search for Missing Woman Continues in Pennsylvania Sinkhole

Elizabeth Pollard, a 64-year-old grandmother, went missing in Pennsylvania while searching for her cat and is feared to have been swallowed by a sinkhole near her car. The sinkhole appeared shortly after she disappeared and led to a major search operation involving over 100 personnel, but the situation has transitioned into a recovery effort as authorities no longer expect to find her alive. Her granddaughter was found unharmed in the vehicle, which was parked just feet from the sinkhole. Geological experts emphasize that survival chances in such conditions are low due to unstable oxygen levels and the dangerous nature of the abandoned mine. Rescue operations have become complicated by the mine's deteriorating integrity, necessitating a change in tactics to ensure the safety of the crews involved. Despite the bleak outlook, officials remain hopeful and continue to search for Pollard's remains.
