An air search planned for Sunday has been rescheduled for Monday due to bad weather, RCMP K Division spokesman Staff Sgt. Jeremie Landry said.

On Sunday, nine RCMP officers, 10 search and rescue personnel, a bylaw officer, and 10 local residents searched a rural area about three kilometres by six kilometres on foot and using all-terrain vehicles, he said. They didn’t find anything.

On Monday, an RCMP helicopter and a special tactical operations team that specializes in grid searches will comb the area, Landry said.

Cardinal is an aboriginal woman with long black hair and brown eyes, who is 5-foot-9 and weighs 123 pounds. She has a scar on her right bicep, and a cut on her top lip, and bears a tattoo of the letters “ns” on her left hand. She was last seen wearing a grey sweater, black shorts, and no shoes.

Police ask anyone with information about her whereabouts to call St. Paul RCMP at 780-645-8888.

Saddle Lake is about 160 km northeast of Edmonton.
