A lot of people could not help with the search, but they made sure to do anything they could to help. One of the local volunteers told WVLT News, “We’re a very tight community. We try to help everyone. I got a phone call about what was going on. I was coming up the mountain from work and just shot straight over and did everything I could to help.”

Megan Kessler, who also lived in the neighborhood, heard about the disappearance and started an initiative of her own to help the search and rescue teams. She gave the volunteers food and water. She spoke to WVLT News and said, “We knew it was going to be a long night.” She also said, “We brought coffee, chili, whatever they needed. We wanted to make sure we could supply it. They wouldn’t let us search, so we did what we could.”
