Missing Woman Located by State Police Canine

Jefferson – On Thursday, June 18, 2026 at 7:45 p.m., NH State Police Troop F Dispatch received a call regarding a missing woman off of Thistle Hill Road. The woman’s husband reported that she had gone for a walk on trails near their property with her dog and the dog returned without her. He searched for her for over an hour before calling for help.

State Police Troopers, Fish and Game Conservation Officers and members of Jefferson Fire Department responded to help search for the woman, who was identifed as 66-year-old Susanne Reynolds. Canine assests from State Police and Fish and Game were also requested in this search.

At approximately 9:35 p.m., a State Police Canine located Reynolds in the woods not far from the residence. Reynolds was not mobile and verbally unresponsive. Rescue personnel packaged her into a stretcher and she was carried from the woods and transferred to a Lancaster EMS ambulance. Reynolds was transported to Weeks Medical Center in Lancaster for treatment of an unknown medical condition.

Jefferson Fire was dispatched for a general alarm for a reported chimney fire on Panorama Dr., Sunday evening just after 7 PM. Utility 1 engine 1 and 2 as well as rescue 1 responded. Upon arrival, there was heavy smoke, and considerable amount of fire in the chimney.  setting up ladder operations we were able to extinguish the fire, taking out considerable debris from the chimney as it was plugged pretty solid.  Great teamwork tonight and glad we were able to help out these Jefferson homeowners as they are super nice people. We cleared the residence in just under two hours.
