Several Maine agencies are working together to locate a missing woman from Brownfield who’s been missing since Tuesday afternoon.
Weslene Marble, 69, of Brownfield was last seen on Hampshire Road in that town just before 1:00 Tuesday. Ms. Marble is impacted by dementia and officials say she could be very confused.
Mark Latti with the Maine Warden Service says it’s believed she may have headed north on the Pequawket Trail, also known as Route 113 or Route 5, toward Fryeburg, but officials say this direction of travel is uncertain. Investigating officers are asking that anyone with cameras anywhere in this vicinity check their video feeds for any sightings of her. Officials say that she may not have her bike anymore but could have traveled a significant distance by bike or on foot.

When Marble was last seen, she was operating a red Trek electric bike with a white bike helmet. She was wearing a pink shirt and had a flourescent green jacket with her. Weslene is 5’2″ tall, 145 pounds, with brown hair, and blue eyes.
Anyone who believes they may have seen Weslene or who has information about her whereabouts is urged to contact the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office at 207-743-9554, Option 0.

The recent rain in Maine is easing the drought that parts of the state have been experiencing since the fall.
Scott Dean, a Spectrum meteorologist, said much of Maine has been at least “dry” for several months. Parts of the state, including Portland, Bangor and Bar Harbor, are under a “moderate” drought.
Much of the country is also experiencing a drought, Dean added. The Southeast is seeing extreme levels of drought, and the West coast has been under a drought for years. There are many factors that go into this, including climate change, weather patterns like El Niño and La Niña and other factors.
And, when an area does experience drought, it can become a feedback loop. With less moisture in the ground and atmosphere, the drought can “feed upon itself,” Dean said.
“It takes a while to get into a drought and it also takes a while to get out of one,” Dean said.
But, the rainy days in Maine have been alleviating the drought, Dean said. And, the trend is likely to continue — the forecast is predicting above average levels of precipitation for the next three to four weeks.
“Hopefully, we are continuing to head in the right direction as the drought has eased in these areas,” Dean said.
In fact, if these rains do continue, Maine could come out of the drought sometime this summer.
