UPDATE I: Search continues for missing Pinal County couple.
Volunteer search teams have spent several days looking for the couple in a remote area outside Maricopa.
“The response was amazing. We really didn’t know what to expect coming into this. We kind of threw it all together, reached out here and to get over 100 people to come out and search is absolutely amazing,” Alexis Kroll, one of the search organizers, said.
“It’s just been amazing,” said another family friend, Francesca Lever. ” Last night we had over 150 people come out and just join the search; we expect the same amount today.”
Family, friends and even complete strangers have canvassed the area in jeeps, quads, dirt bikes and trucks.
“We are kind of focusing more on the canals and the remote areas that really we had a hard time with the lighting last night,” Kroll said.
Some volunteers, like Larry Meyer, don’t even know the couple. “If you have the ability you go out and you look for people. You do whatever it takes to help your neighbor out ,” he said. “Just trying to help. I know there are a lot of other people out doing the same thing so we’re just trying to bring these people home safe.”
