Search personnel find missing Alger County woman

ALGER COUNTY, MI--   A missing Munising woman has been found alive in some Alger County woods.

WLUC-TV says Nancy Boucher, 75, was last seen leaving her home October 4 in a tan Chevy Impala. Family said Boucher was diabetic and didn’t have a cell phone. 

A search party flew a drone over Highway 13 to see if they could spot Boucher’s car, but had no luck.

Sunday around 5 p.m. hunters found her vehicle stuck on a two-track road near Howe Lake. Personnel from the Michigan State Police, Alger County Sheriff’s Office and Rescue 21 began a search of the area. They found Boucher Monday around 11:30 a.m. about a mile and a half from her vehicle. She was in some woods about 75 yards from the two-track road.

Boucher was taken to UPHS-Marquette for treatment.

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
