The Dallas newlywed reported missing over the weekend when her car was found abandoned on the side of Highway 101 in Florence has been found alive.
Heather Mounce Davison, who had last been seen Saturday — one day after returning home from her honeymoon in Mexico — was airlifted off a cliff above the Pacific Ocean about 2 p.m. Wednesday by the U.S. Coast Guard, according to Dallas police Lt. Jerry Mott.
A family member was the first to find Davison after an extensive search of the area, Mott said, and alerted police. The Coast Guard identified that family member as Davison’s husband, Denton.
Authorities had arranged for the Coast Guard helicopter to do an aerial search on Wednesday afternoon, so the MH-65 Dolphin aircraft from Coast Guard Sector North Bend already was in the area and quickly available.
