Equusearch brought in a team from Indiana to assist in the search.
“We’re basically arm to arm,” he said.
Rader advised that anyone searching should not give up hope.
“You never lose hope because if there’s a place you haven’t searched, you have to go and do it. You never lose hope that one day you’re going to get lucky and find what you’re looking for. You can’t lose hope, as long as they’re missing, you have to bring your A-game to the table.”

Searchers met at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, and will do so again at the same time today at the Dayton Air Show parking lot off North Dixie Drive in Vandalia across the street from McCauley Drive.

All searchers must be at least 18 with a valid ID, dressed appropriately for the weather and for wooded terrain.
