State police and the Luzerne County district attorney’s office are involved in the search of several ponds that are being drained in hopes of finding a woman who disappeared 52 years ago. 22-year old Llonka Cann, was reported missing by her husband, Charles Cann, a Berwick School teacher at the time who said he arrived home from work to find his wife missing and their 15-month old son alone and crying. Authorities searched the family farm and surrounding areas — including bringing in a scuba team to scour a pond on the property — but found no sign of the woman, who was reportedly pregnant at the time. Officials are only saying they are conducting the search and following up on a decades-old missing person case. The search is the next step in a long investigation and all information related to the search is under seal. Authorities add if today's activity results in any information which can or should be made available to the public it will be released.
