A local family is experiencing heartbreak for the holidays. A Pembroke resident was reported missing on Friday after a dog returned home without their owner following an evening walk. The Upper Ottawa Valley OPP say they found foot prints and dog tracks near open water on the Indian River near Christie and McGee streets in the City of Pembroke. The OPP’s underwater search and recovery unity found the body of a 54 year old woman around 4:30pm Saturday. The victim is identified as Patricia Smith, and a post-mortem is scheduled to confirm the cause of death as drowning. Police do not suspect foul play.
