FRYEBURG, Maine — Maine Game Warden divers were still searching the fast-moving Saco River south of Fryeburg on Monday for the South Berwick, Maine, woman fell out of a canoe several days earlier.
Meanwhile, Fryeburg Reserve Officer Nathan Desjardins, 20, is fighting for his life at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston after a police jet boat that was heading toward the capsized canoe, struck something in the river and crashed.
