Mitzie "Susan" Clements vanished while hiking with her daughter on Tuesday.

Mitzie "Susan" Clements went missing in Great Smoky Mountains National Park on Tuesday. 

(Cleves, Oh.) - A search is underway in North Carolina for a Cleves woman who vanished while hiking.

National Park Service officials say Mitzie “Susan” Clements was last seen about 5:00 p.m. Tuesday in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, according to National Parks Traveler. Rangers say Clements, 53, disappeared after she became separated from her daughter on the Forney Ridge Trail about a quarter mile from Andrews Bald.

Search parties have been scouring the area of Clingman’s Dome for Clements. They began searching Tuesday and continued their efforts Wednesday and Thursday.

Clements is a white female with light brown hair and blue eyes. She is 5-foot, 6-inches tall and weighs 125 pounds. She was wearing a green zip-up sweater, black workout pants over black leggings, a clear rain poncho, and white tennis shoes, the park staff said.

National Park Service rangers urge people with information about Clements’ whereabouts to call 888-653-0009, e-mail nps_isb@nps.gov, or provide a tip at nps.gov/isb.

Clements works at the Cincinnati Metropolitan Sewer District.

“Everyone here at MSD is thinking about Mitzi and praying for her safe return,” the sewer district said in a statement.
