Search resumes for N.Y. mom missing nearly a month

ARCADIA, N.Y. -- Police have resumed the search for a 32-year-old upstate New York woman who has been missing for more than three weeks.

Authorities say Kimberly Rouland was last seen walking from the trailer park where she lived in the Wayne County town of Arcadia, 25 mile southeast of Rochester.

State police and other law enforcement agencies resumed searching Tuesday morning in wooded areas and apple orchards outside the neighboring village of Newark. Local media report Rouland's estranged husband told police he last saw her on Feb. 9.

Troopers say the mother of three disappeared under suspicious conditions. Searches by multiple law enforcement agencies and interviews with neighbors and relatives have so far turned up no sign of Rouland.

Her husband, 38-year-old Thomas Rouland, has provided "no assistance" to authorities after reporting her missing, police told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. The man is being represented by a public defender's office in two incidents when his then-3-year-old son was found walking down a road and then later allegedly seen on a roof, reports the paper.

His lawyer told the paper Rouland has been cooperative in the investigation.

The searches in the rural area have been hampered by heavy snowfall and subzero temperatures.
