A group of more than 50 police and trained searchers have conducted an extensive search of a wooded

area near the home of missing Warren Township firefighter Margaret Haddican-McEnroe, who vanished

10 months ago.

Police said the search, conducted late last month along Dock Watch Hollow Road, was instigated by a

tip. The search lasted nine hours but yielded no clues. The Somerset County Prosecutor's Office and the

nonprofit Central Jersey Technical Rescue took part, along with trained searchers from Passaic County

and out of state.

Haddican-McEnroe, who will turn 30 on Aug. 25, is an army veteran and mother of three. She was last

seen by her husband, Timothy McEnroe, at home on Oct. 10. Nearby Dock Watch Hollow Road winds

through a heavily wooded area and has a stream that runs alongside it.

Searchers used dogs and mounted patrol but came up empty-handed, said Lt. Robert Glen, of Warren

Township police.

McEnroe told police he had left to go to work and when he returned, he found his three children,

including the couple's 5-month-old, alone in the house. His wife has not been heard from since.

Central Jersey Technical Rescue chief Eric Martin said the July 28 search was part of the group's

ongoing efforts to bring closure to Haddican-McEnroe's family. He said the case was by no means a

"cold case."
