UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Officials on Monday continued their efforts to locate a young Northshore woman who went missing last week.
The search remains under way for 23-year-old Kimberly Marie Hazelwood of Nice.
Lt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said Lake County Search and Rescue was performing a search in the Upper Lake area on Monday, with assistance from K-Corps, Willits Fire Swift Water Rescue Team and California Department of Fish and Game.
Brooks said a California Highway Patrol helicopter also was to assist with the search Monday afternoon.
Hazelwood, who has been undergoing cancer treatment, was last seen on the night of Dec. 23 when she left a home in the 10000 block of Rancheria Road near Upper Lake, according to an initial sheriff’s office report issued last week. She was reported missing after 9 p.m. that night.
A short time before deputies were dispatched to the Rancheria Road residence, fire officials responded to a report of a person who was in Middle Creek near the 9100 block of Bridge Arbor Road, about two miles south of where Hazelwood was last seen. Northshore Fire Chief Jay Beristianos said they were unable to locate anyone.
Hazelwood is 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighs 160 pounds, has brown eyes and long brown hair.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at 707-263-2690, or her family at 707-245-2772, 707-900-1401 or 707-900-1946.
