Missing Indiana Mother Found Alive a Week After House Fire Labeled Suspicious

Authorities report no public threat during continuing forensic and digital investigations.

Overview

  • Britney Gard, 46, called 911 from Hall Woods Nature Preserve on Wednesday and was located in the woods about 2.5 miles from her Bainbridge home.
  • Dispatchers guided her by phone and deputies, conservation officers, state police and fire personnel quickly reached her.
  • She was evaluated by paramedics at the scene and transported to a hospital for further assessment, with her current condition undisclosed.
  • The week-long search drew local, state and federal resources, including Civil Air Patrol, volunteer teams, DNR pond searches, drones and the FBI’s Cellular Analysis Survey Team reviewing device-location leads.
  • Fire investigators deemed the Oct. 1 blaze at her home suspicious, and findings are being routed to criminal investigators as officials say they are not seeking a person of interest.
