HOUGHTON COUNTY -- The search continued Tuesday for a Harbor Springs woman who went missing in Houghton Saturday night. 

Valerie Sue Palmer, 55, was last seen by Wells Fargo Bank near Michigan Tech's campus wearing aqua Capri pants, a white and yellow tank top and a visor.

Officials found a boat with Palmer's purse and other belongings near Torch Bay on Sunday.  The boat did not belong to her.
