Wardens say 72-year-old Pamela and 82-year-old John Helmstadter have not been in contact with family members since Saturday evening, though officials were not notified until Wednesday evening.

The Maine Warden Service, along with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Maine Forest Service and Maine Search and Rescue dogs, have been searching the area on foot with dogs and a Maine Warden Service plane.

Wardens believe the couple likely left their home on Pine Tree Shore Road on foot because their vehicles are still parked at the home.

The couple’s 1-year-old black lab, Lucy, is also missing, although their other dog was found outside their home.

That is worrisome.

Here's her FB with absolutely nothing on it. Their last name begins with an "H": https://www.facebook.com/pamela.helmstadter.1

You could have just changed it and no one would have ever known. What good is mod power if not to hide our mistakes?!

Searchers locate missing Alexander couple Thursday; one had died, the other was hypothermic

Maine game wardens found an Alexander couple Thursday afternoon who had been missing for days – one had died and the other was hypothermic but conscious.

Game Warden Jake Voter found 72-year-old Pamela Helmstadter in a forested area more than a mile from her home around 2:30 p.m., the Maine Warden Service said in an evening statement. She had been missing for more than three days.

Another warden, Kayle Hamilton, located the body of Pamela’s husband, 82-year-old John Helmstadter, about a half hour later, roughly 200 yards from where his wife was located, the service said. It was not immediately clear when he died.

Pamela was “severely hypothermic,” with a body temperature of 90.7 when authorities found her, the service said. Her dog, a black lab named Lucy, was by her side.

Temperatures in Alexander dropped below freezing overnight Wednesday into Thursday, according to data collected by Weather Underground. Early Thursday morning, as officials searched for the couple, the temperature fell to as low as 28 degrees.

Despite her low body temperature, Pamela was able to recall what had happened during a Sunday walk through the woods behind their home, the warden service said.

The pair lost the trail, at which point John fell down and was unable to get up, the service said. Pamela attempted to find help on foot because neither was carrying a cell phone, but became disoriented trying to find her way back home.

“She said she had given up hope of being found, but today heard the Warden Service Airplane circling over her five different times and it gave her hope,” the service said in the statement.

Lucy probably saved her life by staying with her.

How sad. I agree, Lucy likely did save her life and tried to keep her warm. Bless them both.
