ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC -A French national, who had been reported missing after entering the Grand Etang Forest reserve area, a naturally occurring body of water set in the crater of an extinct volcano, two days ago, has been rescued, officials here have confirmed.
The French Honorary Consul in Grenada, Mathias Dorel, said that Heyse Celine, a passenger on the Costa Fortuna cruise ship that berthed in Grenada on Monday, had gone into the forest without a guide.
Police had earlier issued a missing person report without sharing details of her circumstances other than to say she entered the island on December 18 and last spoke with her friend on that day.
The police also advised owners of hotels, Airbnb and apartments to be on the look for the 51-year-old.
In a statement Wednesday, a drone which had been used in the search had located her in the mountains of Birchgrove, a community on the edge of the Grand Etang Forest Reserve in the centre of the island.
