Northwest Wyoming

A video released Thursday shows how a drone equipped with a thermal camera was used to find a special needs woman lost in the rugged Wyoming wilderness near Pinedale.

A Pinedale woman was saved from a potentially tragic situation thanks to the technology and skills of the Sublette County Sheriff’s Office Drone Team.

The SCSO released a video report of the rescue Thursday afternoon, showing the Feb. 19 response to a report of a special needs adult who had left her home and “taken off in the night,” according to the report.
