ALFRED, Maine -- A major air-ground search was launched Saturday for a nursing student from Alfred who vanished 10 days ago.
The Maine Warden Service used 50 trained searchers and dogs, who gathered at Kelly Gorham's apartment and then fanned outward in all directions.
Meanwhile, Lt. Brian McDonough of the Maine State Police expressed confidence that there is a specific individual who has information about Gorham's wherabouts. He described the disappearance as a missing person case "under highly suspicious circumstances."
Gorham's family is appealing to the public for help. Pauline Gorham, the missing woman's mother, said she hopes anyone who has information will do the right thing and come forward.
Searchers with dogs and on horseback combed the York County woods in the area around Kelly Gorham's apartment.
She was last seen at her apartment last August 7th and was reported missing when she didn't show up at work the next day.
Maine Game Wardens say the search did turn up several clues, but there was no sign of Gorham.
"When you search you might not find what you're looking for," said Kevin Adam with the Maine Warden's Service. "It's an elimination to get the area smaller."
State Police and the Warden's Service are reviewing the clues found. Another full-scale search is not expected, but some volunteers and Wardens will be back in the woods for the coming days.
There is still no sign of Kelly Gorham.
