The Midwest chapter of Texas EquuSearch announced Tuesday on social media that a team will be in the area Saturday and Sunday.
Coker, 47, was last seen Oct. 2. Her disappearance is considered a homicide, and the Riverside Police Department announced last month that Coker’s husband, William “Bill” Coker, is a suspect. He has not been charged and has told News Center 7 that he is innocent: “I’ve never in my entire life hurt anyone,” he previously said.
Texas EquuSearch will not announce where they will search, and Director David Rader is urging people who spot them to not stop, photograph or reveal their location to protect the criminal investigation.
