They're looking for a Sudbury woman who has been missing for almost two weeks.

Several divers also donned their wetsuits and self-contained underwater breathing apparatus to perform an underwater search for Daphne Kochar, 42, missing since telling her three daughters she was leaving to do some chores the morning of Nov. 6.

This is the second time Greater Sudbury Police have asked volunteers from North Shore Search and Rescue to assist them with grid searches since Kochar was reported missing.

Kochar is of East Indian descent, approximately five feet tall, 175 pounds with short, straight brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information as to her whereabouts is asked to contact Greater Sudbury Police at 675-9171 or Crime Stoppers at 674-TIPS.
