Student suspended for Michael Jackson moves
BLAIRSVILLE, Ga., Aug. 17 (UPI) -- More than 100 officers searched Monday for a former probation officer in Blairsville, Ga., who may have been abducted, police said.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said authorities have searched for Kristi Cornwell, 38, for five days.
Police said Cornwell disappeared last week while taking a walk on a seldom-used Blairsville road.
Cornwell's boyfriend, who was not identified, told authorities he heard a struggle while talking with her on the phone. He said Cornwell told him she was being followed by a car.
Cornwell's brother Richard told the Journal-Constitution his sister was well-prepared for potentially violent situations because of her background as a probation officer and self-defense instructor.
"She could fight off almost anyone. She had firearms training, self-defense training," Richard Cornwell said Sunday. "I think she's better prepared for this situation than anyone else. That's what keeps us positive. She has the tools she needs."
