Overview

• The Putnam County sheriff has designated the 46-year-old as a missing endangered person after smoke was reported at her Bainbridge home around 7:40 p.m. on Oct. 1.
• Fire crews extinguished a blaze at the residence, found no one inside, and scene investigators now call the fire suspicious in nature.
• Gard’s vehicle and purse were left at the home, and she did not arrive to pick up her daughter after volleyball practice that evening.
• Deputies conducted drone-assisted searches and asked the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to search a pond on the property, with no results to date.
• Family and volunteers are canvassing nearby cornfields and woods, distributing flyers and running a 'Find Britney Gard' page, as authorities request tips at 765-653-5115 ext. 0 or anonymously at 765-653-3211 ext. 699.
