More than 60 volunteers signed up to help with the search Sunday for missing 9-year-old Serenity Dennard in South Dakota seven weeks after she went missing.
While they did not find the girl, the intention of this search was to help law enforcement narrow down the search area and hopefully bring her home.
“I think serenity’s story speaks to people on a number of levels,” said South Dakota Rep. Lynne DiSanto. “We look in her eyes and we see our own children. When we look at that and we see that it compels us to help. An informed community can get involved and do what they can and today we’re really seeing that”
Each group searched about a mile.
