Body of Missing Woman Found, Helicopter Crashes During Search
Authorities have found the body of a missing woman in Steuben County.

Melissa Sherry, 28, was found dead Friday morning in the Town of Campbell. She was last seen on August 25th near Manning Ridge Road.

During the search efforts, a helicopter was forced to make a hard landing. State Police said a pilot returning from the search efforts had a mechanical emergency.

He made a controlled powerless descent which resulted in a hard landing. The helicopter pilot was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The cause of that crash is under investigation.
