Family Shuts Down Search For Sierra LaMar
MORGAN HILL, Calif. (AP) - Volunteers in Northern California are shutting down a three-year search for the body of a missing teen-ager.
The San Jose Mercury News reports that Saturday will mark the final day of searching for Sierra LaMar.
Sierra vanished at age 15 on her way to a school bus-stop in Morgan Hill. That was March 2012. Hundreds of volunteers have spent 50,000 hours since then searching a 15-mile radius around the bus stop.
A 23-year-old man is awaiting trial on charges of kidnapping and killing the girl, who was known for wearing red sneakers. Sierra's family believes the search for her body has run its course and will call it off after Saturday.
