Search teams will focus on expanding coverage areas, following up on investigative leads, and continuing efforts to bring both men home safely.

The Morgan Nick Foundation will also be deploying search dogs during the operation. Residents in the search areas are asked to keep their own dogs secured to avoid interfering with the search teams and K-9 units working in the field.

Search Areas and Road Closures

Teams will be searching in and around the areas where the vehicles belonging to Bohrer and Hamilton were found. Search zones may expand as needed throughout the operation.

Community members should expect to see increased activity in these areas and are encouraged to report any information that could help investigators.
