A volunteer search for Sierra LaMar, the 15-year-old missing teenager from Morgan Hill, is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 29. Search volunteers are being asked to report to the Find Sierra Search Center, located at Burnett Elementary School at 85 Tilton Rd. in Morgan Hill between 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.

The LaMar Family and the Klaas Kids Foundation would like to thank Bank of America for lending us a team of volunteers to assist with this Saturday’s search for Sierra LaMar.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and bring photo identification. Dress appropriately for the weather — wear long pants and sturdy, covered toe shoes. Searches will be by foot, so be prepared for a variety of terrain from fields to dense woods including areas with increasing elevation. Bring items that prove useful: small backpack to carry water and snacks, bug spray and pre-poison oak lotion, hiking stick or golf club and gloves.
