ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC -Rescue teams are searching for a 26-year-old French national who is reported missing after hiking at the Waitukubuli National Trail, over 115 miles of rainforest, cloud forest, streams, and mountains.
Assistant Commissioner of Police, Davidson Valarie, said that Marion Hermier had arrived on board a French-registered vessel on February 4 and was not on the boat when it left the island five days later.
Speaking on the state-owned DBS radio on Monday, Valarie said that police investigations have revealed that Hermier, one of the crew members, had indicated an interest in hiking the Waitukubuli National Trail, which winds from Scotts Head in the south to Capuchin in the north.
He said that rescue teams, including those from the police and Fire Brigade, are searching the trial for the French national, but they need more support.
Many persons have taken to social media expressing concerns for the woman’s safety, with some also questioning why she went “out there alone trailing in these mountains.”
