Rescue Efforts Continue for Pennsylvania Woman Feared Trapped in Sinkhole

Elizabeth Pollard, 64, vanished while searching for her cat near an abandoned coal mine in Marguerite, Pennsylvania, as crews work tirelessly to locate her.

Elizabeth Pollard was last seen Monday evening searching for her cat, Pepper, in a former coal mining area in Marguerite, Pennsylvania.
Her car was found near a sinkhole behind a restaurant, with her unharmed 5-year-old granddaughter inside the vehicle.
Authorities believe the sinkhole, linked to an abandoned mine, opened suddenly as Pollard walked over it, with a camera spotting what may be a shoe 30 feet below the surface.
Rescue teams, including mining experts, are using cameras, heavy machinery, and specialized equipment to carefully search the unstable area.
The sinkhole, estimated to be at least 30 feet deep, is warmer and oxygen-rich underground, giving rescuers hope that Pollard may still be alive.
