11/27/2019

I am very proud to report tonight that thanks to the combined efforts of law enforcement and first responders from Richland VFD this lady has been found safe in southern Navarro County.
I commend everyone who worked together in tonight's search but I also want to mention our communications officers who stayed in constant communication with her throughout the night not only keeping her calm but relaying vital information to searchers attempting to find her and her stranded vehicle.
Again great job by all.
