The spokesperson added that“based off of oxygen levels being a little low, even though we pumped oxygen into the mine, it’s lower than what you want for someone to try to sustain their life.” Pollard, 64, went missing in Unity Township on Monday, Dec. 2, after she was looking for her cat Pepper around 5 p.m. A relative reported that she disappeared on Tuesday, Dec. 3, just before 1 a.m., Limani previously said, according toThe New York Times
“It’s taken longer than we thought,” the spokesperson said. “The mine is just not in good condition. It’s got areas where it’s starting to collapse and decay and buckle a little bit. We were afraid we’re gonna make it worse if we try to continue to plow forward with the techniques we were using. It’s gonna be another day of solid digging.
