No clues, as harbour search for Jennifer Hillier-Penney wraps up

Divers have finished searching the harbour in St. Anthony, and have found no clues to the disappearance of Jennifer Hillier-Penney, police said Friday.

The search will now move to "other bodies of water," said RCMP Cpl. Trevor O'Keefe, but he would not say whether that involved other coastal areas or local ponds.

Hillier-Penney, 38, was last seen Nov. 30. She had been staying at a home where she lived previously with her estranged husband, caring for their teenage daughter while he was away hunting.

Over the past nine days, police have conducted a ground and air search of St. Anthony and surrounding areas.

Officers are still in the Northern Peninsula town, conducting interviews, saidO'Keefe.
