BRUNSWICK, Maine — Maine Warden Service Cpl. Rick Laflamme said shortly after 8:30 a.m. Wednesday that more than 60 law enforcement and warden service officers searching for a missing Texas woman in Brunswick had been called back from the command post because it is no longer an active search.
“We have had a major turn in the case,” he said.
Police closed Maquoit Road, where the search focused, to traffic Wednesday morning. Crime-scene tape was placed at a spot along the side of the road.
Lisa Marie Cox was reported missing at about 10 a.m. Tuesday. Cox, who grew up in Brunswick, has lived for the last three years in Dallas, Texas, with her boyfriend, whom police declined to name.
Brunswick police Cmdr. Mark Waltz said early Tuesday afternoon that Cox and her boyfriend had argued Monday night, and she walked away from the home barefoot, wearing a navy blue sweater and dark blue skirt with leggings but without her cellphone or glasses.
On Tuesday, Brunswick police enlisted the Maine Warden Service, along with two tracking dogs, to assist with a search of the deep woods behind the home. A Maine State Police plane scanned the area, including nearby Maquoit Bay, from the air, and a Brunswick police boat searched the bay.
Cox is described as a white woman, 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 168 pounds, with dirty blonde hair and glasses.
