A woman who’d been looking for her runaway dog in a north Ottawa cornfield and was then also missing died. Ottawa Det. Corp. Kevin Reynolds says Rhonda Politsch got help looking for the dog north of Farm and Fleet Friday morning. Someone put up a Facebook post about the missing dog. One of Politsch’s friends saw the post and let police know that she hadn’t been able to contact Politsch.
Searchers using drones looked for Politsch early Saturday morning. They found her body Saturday afternoon. The police and coroner’s office are investigating what happened.
