EquuSearch Midwest Director David Rader said this was another area they needed to check off their list in the search for Erica.
“When we do a search, we want to bring everything to the table that we possibly can. You know the latest of technology, dogs, there’s nothing that beats good old-fashioned boots on the ground and really from ’99 to now that’s a long time,” Rader said.
Rader said this case hasn’t gone cold, as law enforcement continues to follow up on leads.
“Law enforcement has never give up on this little girl. I mean every single time that they’ve gotten tips, every time that they need a piece of ground covered, they call us,” he said.
