The neighbors started to search the area of Atkins Road and Fishing Creek Road.
A quick search was conducted by the responding troopers; they were also confirmed about hearing the calls for help. For assistance the troopers had contacted to the Fire Department of Roulette, after the people of the neighborhood expressed their dissatisfaction. The search was carried out till 1 AM on Thursday with manpower and a thermal imaging device.
