Vigil, new website for missing Vt. grandmother
SHEFFIELD, Vt. — A candlelight vigil has been scheduled for a grandmother police believe was abducted from her home in a tiny Vermont town.
Seventy-eight-year-old Pat O’Hagan was reported missing Sept. 11 from her home in Sheffield, a town so small it has no stores or stoplights.
State police are offering $5,000 for information leading to the prosecution of the person or people responsible. The FBI is offering $10,000. O’Hagan’s family is offering up to $5,000.
The vigil will be held Thursday evening at Town Hall in Sheffield. O’Hagan’s family will attend.
The family has established a website called findpatohagan.com to help locate the widowed grandmother of nine.
O’Hagan is originally from Chelmsford, Mass. Relatives say she’s an active part of the community who likes camping and kayaking.
