Search for missing Glenburn teen continues through weekend


May 18, 2013 (Bangor Daily News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- GLENBURN, Maine -- The search for missing Glenburn teen Nichole Cable entered its sixth day Saturday without a conclusion and will continue into Sunday.

"More than a dozen phone tips were received overnight," Chief Deputy Troy Morton of the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department said in a news release issued late Saturday afternoon.

"Investigators are actively following up all tips and leads. All resources, including federal, state, county and municipal agencies, remain actively working together in an attempt to find Nichole," he said.


Morton said that recent search efforts have focused on several areas along Route 221, also known as Hudson Road, and Route 43 in Glenburn, Hudson and west Old Town.

During a news conference Friday at the former county courthouse, Sheriff Glenn Ross asked the public for help in locating a black Ford Ranger or similar-looking pickup truck that may have been in the Glenburn area around the time that the 15-year-old Old Town High School student went missing.

It was one of the few new developments in the investigation, which began Monday morning when Cable's parents, Jason and Kristine Wiley of Glenburn, reported her missing.

On their Facebook page, Bring Nichole Cable Home, the girl's parents said they last saw Cable on Sunday night and that they believe their daughter was last known to be with a male using a fictitious name on a Facebook account.

Fliers have been posted by family and friends throughout Penobscot County and well beyond and information about the case has spread around the world over the Internet.

The sheriff asked that anyone who saw a vehicle matching the description given by police in the area between Route 211 in Glenburn to the west Old Town area and Interstate 95 between 8 p.m. Sunday and 2 a.m. Monday call the sheriff's office at 945-4636 or 800-432-7911.
