Missing Annapolis Valley Woman Found Dead

Authorities in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley confirmed that Kerstin Marie Wetter, a 32-year-old woman reported missing on Saturday, was found dead Monday morning in a wooded area near Nictaux. A vulnerable missing persons alert had been issued due to concerns about her unusual lack of contact with family, prompting a search with about 50 volunteers. The cause of Wetter's death is still under investigation by the Nova Scotia medical examiner. Separately, police in other regions, including Montana and Pennsylvania, are searching for missing women Nicole Thennis and Hope Marie Clay, respectively. Thennis was last seen in Helena with no suspicious circumstances, while Clay may be at risk of harm and was last seen driving Sunday evening. Authorities are seeking public assistance in all ongoing cases.
