Original Story: Township police are seeking the public’s help in finding a Franklin resident.
Township resident Edna Rudolph told police on Aug. 31 that her sister, Bertha S. Dyer, had been missing since the prior day.
Rudolph told police that Dyer, the principal of Mt. Vernon Elementary School in Newark, was last seen at about 3 p.m. on Aug. 30 at the school. Dyer was scheduled for several meeting on Sept. 1, none of which she attended, according to police.
