Coast Guard helicopter and boat all over Smiths Cove and inner harbor. Does anyone know what is going on? They are doing a lot of hovering and searching. They are really aggressively searching Smiths Cove.

No kidding! I took the helicopter shot out my living room window. I almost could have reached out and touched the thing.

COAST GUARD, LOCALS SEARCH SMITH COVE IN GLOUCESTER, MA, FOR MISSING WOMAN
BOSTON – The Coast Guard, Gloucester police, Marine Environmental Police, and the Gloucester Harbor Master are searching Saturday for a woman who may be missing near Smith Cove in Gloucester.
Missing is Suzan Nilsson, 56.
Gloucester police alerted watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Boston Saturday at about 1:30 p.m. to the situation. They relayed that Nilsson did not show up for work Saturday morning, and was last heard from via text message Friday night. Her belongings were found on the pier in Smith Cove.
A 29-foot response boat crew from Coast Guard Station Gloucester and an MH-60 helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod deployed to help search for the woman.
Anyone with information on Nilsson’s whereabouts is requested to contact Coast Guard Sector Boston at 617-223-5757.

Thanks everyone. I never thought to go on the Coast Guard website. They have stopped searching, maybe because it has gotten dark, or hopefully because Susan was found safe and secure, not understanding what all the fuss is about.

I too was wondering what the helicopter was searching for yesterday afternoon. Haven’t seen any updates. Has anyone heard more? Hope they found her ‘safe and sound.’

Prayers to her and her family.
