Each search turned up items of interest.
“We have fanned out quite a bit. ... This will be our sixth week back here and we have covered a boatload of ground, just not the right ground but hopefully that’s going to change,” David Rader, director of the Ohio chapter of the search and recovery organization.
At the last search open to the public on March 30, there were more than 75 people, including nearly 60 volunteers from the community.
