REDINGTON TOWNSHIP, Maine - Today marks the second anniversary of the disappearance of a Tennessee woman on the Appalachian Trail.

Geraldine Largay was last seen when she left Redington Township for an eight-mile hike to Mount Abram Township. The 66-year-old hiker, whose trail name was "Inchworm," was supposed to meet her husband the following day.

She never made it.  A $25,000 reward is still available for information on the case. Authorities are advising anyone who might know something to call the Maine Warden Service at (207) 624-7076.

Nora Flaherty talks with John MacDonald of the Maine Warden Service about the investigation into Largay's disappearance.

Nora is originally from the Boston area but has lived in Chicago, Michigan, New York City and at the northern tip of New York state. Nora began working in public radio at Michigan Radio in Ann Arbor and has been an on-air host, a reporter, a digital editor, a producer, and, when they let her, played records.
