McAlester Police: Items Found In Weekend Search Not Connected To Missing Mother

Police say items found during a search for a missing McAlester mother over the weekend are not connected to her.

The volunteer searchers found a piece of clothing, tweezers, earrings and papers.

On Monday, McAlester Police said they checked with the family and don't believe any of the items were Cantrell's. Papers found in the area with her name on them probably came from her purse, they said.

Cantrell works at McAlester Hospital and disappeared on her lunch break on January 20, 2017.
