Pierce County deputies have pivoted from a rescue mission to a recovery mission Monday for a 29-year-old woman who went missing after falling into the Carbon River with her dog in Carbonado.

According to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, she was walking with another person and her dog under the Fairfax Bridge when she and her dog reportedly fell into the Carbon River at approximately 11:45 a.m. Sunday. The other person had to hike an additional 15 minutes to find a signal to call 911 after the woman fell, due to poor cell service.

The dog was found by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office two miles away from the point where the woman was last seen near the bridge. Drones were used to help find the dog.
