We are sad to report that Kristin was found, deceased. She was found in the woods off Gray Road in North Yarmouth. No cause of death is yet available. This information comes to us directly from Kristin's brother who gave us permission to release this news. It is also further confirmed by an earlier post and condolences on Kristin's husband's Facebook page. Thank you to everyone who shared the post--over 12,000 people-- and those who offered to help search. It is appreciated. Wish we had something more positive to say...our prayers go out to Kristin's family and friends. <3 *10/6 The latest update tells us that it was children playing in the woods who found the body less than a half mile from Kristin's home. ORIGINAL POST BELOW... 🔥 MISSING ADULT ALERT! **URGENT - STILL MISSING AS OF 10/5 AT 7 AM** North Yarmouth, MAINE. Kristin Westra, 47, left her home on Lufkin Road on early Monday morning (10/1) and has not been seen or heard from since. Her husband says he thinks she got out of bed around 3 AM and when he got up around 6 AM, she was gone. She left without her keys, phone and wallet, and her car is still at home. It is not known what she is wearing but she is thought to be wearing flip flops for shoes. The evening before she disappeared she was seen on a neighbor's surveillance camera taking a jog around 6:30pm. Then she was reported to have spent the rest of the evening at home with her husband and kids. A search of the woods and areas around her house is ongoing right now. Dogs have been used but have not picked up anything yet; they are probably being hampered by all the rain recently. All parties are concerned about the cool rainy weather, and Kristin’s ability to find warm shelter if she ended up in the woods. Volunteers are not needed just yet for searches, police and other agencies are already out there. Kristin's family does not know why she left the home, simply stating she was restless and has had insomnia recently. Kristin has not done this before and her brother reports that she is not mentally ill, but she may be stressed out over a number of issues. Kristin is a local school teacher, and she has young children and a husband at home as well as other and family and friends who are extremely worried about her! <3 She is 5'10, brown eyes and hair, approx 140 pounds. No tattoos. **UPDATE: 10/5 7 AM. 🔥 As of this moment, Kristin has NOT been found, despite what some people may have said in earlier comments on the post. We do not announce that someone was found unless we hear it straight from police or family first. Remember, that sometimes word does get out that someone was found, BUT the public announcement can be delayed so the family can be properly notified instead of finding out online from "strangers." Thank you for understanding. Be aware, premature announcements may be deleted in the future. 🔵 UPDATE: FLYER AVAILABLE, it's included in the photos. To help, you can share this post, and keep your eyes open anywhere in New England but especially of course in the North Yarmouth area of Maine.
