So far today there has been no more sign of the woman who went missing on Saturday at around 2 a.m. She was last seen leaving John and Peter's bar in New Hope, PA and walking home across the bridge over the Delaware River to New Jersey. Video surveillance captured her making it across the bridge safely, but she never arrived home. The do not believe foul play was involved. She was last seen in a green camouflage jacket, a white knit hat, and glasses.

Police have searched the river and icy canal, which is frozen over in many points. They have turned their attention to that canal lately using cameras, sonar, and dive teams. Almost 13 years ago in a similar incident, a local musician, David Anderson, 31, went missing walking home from the same bar, only to turn up dead in the canal, presumably from accidentally falling in during his walk home. Anyone with information on Sarah Majoras' whereabouts is asked to contact New Hope Police at 215-862-3033.
