Vermont State Police say a 75-year-old resident of Sheldon, Jeannie Couture-Herrod, was reported missing from her home on Rice Hill at approximately 11:40 a.m. on Monday, June 29, 2026. Authorities are concerned for her welfare due to her dementia and believe she may be wandering in the nearby woods.
According to police, Couture-Herrod is described as 5 feet tall, weighing around 130 pounds, with blue eyes and brown shoulder-length hair. She was last seen wearing blue Nike pants, a white and gray 3/4 length shirt, and mismatched Sketchers slip-on shoes—one black and one gray.
The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are not deemed suspicious; however, multiple first-response agencies and specialized state police teams are actively involved in the search efforts. Authorities urge anyone who may have seen Couture-Herrod to contact the St. Albans Barracks of the Vermont State Police at 802-524-5993.
