NORFOLK, Mass. -- The search for a missing Plainville, Mass., girl continues this morning in the vicinity of the closed Norfolk Airport, as state and local police search for the 17-year-old high school senior who was last seen Friday night.

Taylor Meyer, who attends the King Philip Regional High School in Wrentham, attended an underage drinking party at the site of the former airport. She was reported missing Saturday afternoon, which prompted the search to start that evening, according to the Norfolk police.

Norfolk is northeast of Rhode Island, north of Wrentham, Mass.

Authorities, including a metro SWAT team, have used boats, dogs and a state police helicopter in the search. They say Meyer placed a couple calls with her cell phone, but the last call was so garbled it was incomprehensible.

The Norfolk Airport, at 61 River Rd., has been closed for a number of years.
