According to Sheriff Fabrizio, they are searching intensely and are looking for any evidence that could potentially lead them to Joshua James McCoy.
The sheriff, though appreciative of the public's help, has denied any civilian searchers because it could potentially make the search difficult and risk contaminating the search scene or any evidence present. But, they might ask for help in the future depending on how the search turns out.
