Missing New Brunswick woman's family holds out hope 1 month after disappearance
A month after a Grand Bay-Westfield, N.B., woman disappeared without a trace, her son says the family is clinging to routine and to each other. Ruth Carol Sutton, 79, was last seen on Mallard Drive the morning of May 25. As the search enters a second month, Sutton's family is doing their best to cope with the uncertainty. 'We've had a little time to get used to the idea rather than in the case of a sudden death. Dad's doing quite well,' said her son, Bertis Sutton. 'He's engaged in things that interest him and trying to keep his mind on happier things.' Bertis says his mother, who goes by the name Carol, grew up by the water in Hampstead. She is an avid swimmer and has lived with her husband in their home for more than 50 years.

She was never disoriented or didn't know where she was,' he said. 'The best we can guess is that something changed in her physiology and her brain that morning and this was her first and last wander.' Carol is described as being five-feet-two-inches tall, about 130 pounds, with white hair and blue eyes. She was last seen in a light-blue jacket and rubber ankle boots. RCMP says investigations like this remain open indefinitely, until the missing person is found. 'Last week we were undertaking a search with underwater recovery team in the area in proximity where Ms. Carol Sutton went missing and also our drone system was up and running last week as well, searching for some ground near the river,' said RCMP Sgt. Ben Comley. Story continues below advertisement Bertis hopes someone — even unknowingly — may have seen something and is urging them to contact police. 'She could definitely come off to you as just a person looking for a ride and somebody with good intentions may have just taken her somewhere and no even realized the significance of it,' he said.

Georgia eyeing first Sanford Stadium concert in more than a decade. Here's when it could be
GREENSBORO, Ga.—Sanford Stadium is the home of the one of the top college football programs, but you have to go back a few years before Kirby Smart coached the Bulldogs since the stadium that seats more than 93,000 hosted a concert. Georgia athletic director Josh Brooks, who was responsible for overseeing the transformation of the football stadium to a concert venue the only time it previously hosted a concert in April of 2013, said the athletic department is aiming to bring its next concert there in the spring of 2026. 'We have to continue to be creative in looking at different ways to drive revenue in more ways than ever before,' Brooks said after Georgia's spring athletic board meeting Thursday May 22 held at the Ritz-Carlton Lodge. The athletic board will be asked to approve a budget Friday approaching $223 million, a nearly 16 percent increase from the previous year that Georgia has said is directly related to the start of institutional NIL payments expected for the coming school year. Country music stars Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan were the headliners in the 2013 concert at Sanford Stadium. UGA president Jere Morehead joked to Brooks about the 2026 concert: 'Are you going to be the opening act to the concert? 'I don't think they can afford me,' Brooks cracked. 'We've got to be efficient with the cost.' Associate athletic director of facilities and capital projects Tanner Stines is heading up the drive to bring in a concert. 'There's a lot that goes into it obviously, but that's something we're working on,' Brooks said. 'That's a great event for the city, for the campus, but it's also an opportunity for us to find another way to drive some revenue.' Ideally, the concert would be held after Georgia's spring game in April and before commencement in May. 'We hope the city will partner with us because it will bring a lot of revenue, a lot of guests into Athens,' Morehead said. Asked about a wish list for an artist, Brooks dreamed big of Athens own R.E.M. which called it quits as an active recording and touring artist in 2011. 'Look, I'm going to keep saying it until they get sick of hearing it, I still want R.E.M.,' Brooks said. 'I know Bertis (Downs, the band's lawyer) and Mike Mills are going to keep telling me no, but I will keep pestering Mike and Bertis and the crew over and over again.'
