US Edition67-year-old who went missing after crash found dead at bottom of a well
- Shirley Obert, a 67-year-old Chick-fil-A employee, was found dead at the bottom of a deep well in Monroe County, Georgia, on Sunday after being involved in a car crash on Saturday morning.
- Obert crashed her car around 7 a.m. On Saturday, March 29, near Oxford and Abercrombie Roads just outside of Atlanta, and reportedly called her husband for help after driving into nearby woodland.
- After surviving the crash, Obert was attempting to get help and went missing, prompting a multi-agency search that included the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Georgia State Patrol Aviation, Monroe County Fire Department, Macon-Bibb County Fire Department, and Forsyth Police Department.
- Authorities stated Obert's body was discovered around 11:30 am in a deep well surrounded by thick brush near the car crash site, and it is unknown why her car ran off the road; Watkins, the public information officer for the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, said the accident involved a Mazda Miata.
- The Monroe County Sheriff's Office believes Obert was trying to seek help after the accident, describing the incident as a "tragic accident"; a GoFundMe page was created to support her husband and five children as she was the sole provider and did not have life insurance, raising more than $7,700 as of Monday evening, with the page describing her as a 'devoted Christian, wife, mother, and friend to many'.
