Water Searches for Sierra LaMar to Pick Up Again Next Week

Sheriff's dive team was unable to search two bodies of water planned for this week.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff's dive teams spent the week searching for signs of missing Morgan Hill teen but were unable to get to two of the reservoirs they planned on searching, according to Sgt. Jose Cardoza of the Sheriff's Office. 

They will resume searches at these two bodies of water early in the week of May 7.

"In the beginning of the week, the teams searched Parkway Lakes, Anderson and Coyote reservoirs," Cardoza said. "They were unable to get to Almaden and Guadalupe reservoirs, so they'll be resuming with them early next week."

Cardoza said that divers were deployed after side scan sonar picked up "areas of concern" in the three waterways that were searched, but nothing related to LaMar's disappearance was discovered.

After waterway searches are completed next week, Cardoza said investigators will reconvene and determine how to proceed with searches, including deciding where to search next.

LaMar, 15, has been missing since March 16 and . Her family is offering to the first person with information that leads to her safe return.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
