Police Seek Public's Help In Case of Missing Russell County Woman

Police are hoping you may have seen a middle-aged woman from Russell County in the Cornwall-area. 48-year-old Parise Ouellette was reported missing by family nearly six weeks ago. She was seen by neighbours on July 30th walking her small beige female poodle called "Mitsou." She was last spotted a day later in the Long Sault-area and police believe she may be walking to New Brunswick. Ouellette is described as 5'10", 170 pounds, a medium build with green eyes and very short white hair. Investigators don't have a clothing description. Police say she requires medication which she did not have with her when she vanished.
