Jonett Wanner, 50, of West Fargo, has not been seen or heard from since Tuesday, July 11, when she last signed off her work computer at home around 2:30 p.m.
Deputies from neighboring Stutsman County brought a boat and sonar equipment, a dive team, and drones to assist those in Barnes County on Wednesday, Aug. 2, searching a trio of lakes southwest of Valley City for any signs of the woman or her gray 2017 Nissan Rogue.
They searched in and around St. Mary's, Moon and Sweetwater lakes, family members said. A Civil Air Patrol plane out of Bismarck also joined to search by air.Sister-in-law Audrey Aberle said the tip came from a farmer listening to "The Jay Thomas Show" on 970 WDAY-AM earlier this week, when he learned about the missing woman for the first time.
The farmer called law enforcement to say a woman drove up to his shop on St. Mary's Lake southwest of Valley City on a Tuesday a few weeks ago, asking for directions to Sweetwater Lake.
He said the descriptions of her and the vehicle given by law enforcement were a match.
