CUSHING, Okla. (AP) — Crews in Oklahoma are searching for a missing skydiver whose parachute has been recovered.

Local media report the skydiver, a woman in her 20s from Kansas, jumped around 3:45 p.m. Sunday near Cushing. Her parachute was found in a wooded area, but she wasn't with it.

Multiple law enforcement agencies and the Red Cross are assisting in the search, and Lincoln County Sheriff Charlie Dougherty says crews will be working through the night.
