Gretchen Fitzpatrick of Hyannis, Massachusetts, was last seen on July 14 near the border crossing in Woodstock, N.B.

Her vehicle was recovered deep in the woods in Chapmanville, about 70 kilometres away from Woodstock, on Sept. 7.

The RCMP asked hunters and people with camps and trail cameras to keep an eye out for any signs of Fitzpatrick.

Police dogs and search and rescue teams also searched the area for her.

At the time, police said Fitzpatrick suffered from a medical condition that could cause her to become disoriented.
