SAINT GEORGE, Maine — The Maine Warden Service and the Knox County Sherriff's Office are trying to locate 71-year-old Francine Laporte of St. George, Maine.

In a news release, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife Communications Director Mark Latti said the woman was reported missing by her husband Paul LaPorte on Wednesday after he woke up to find his wife was not home. 

LaPorte's phone was left behind and it is believed she left the States Point Road home on foot, Latti stated. It is not certain what she was wearing but it may have been a dark or black jacket.
