Volunteer Search for Sierra LaMar Continues in Morgan Hill This Weekend

KlaasKids has been conducting the searches since March 27 in hopes of finding the missing teen.

Volunteer-led searches for missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar will continue Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Those who would like to participate should check in at Burnett Elementary School (85 Tilton Road in Morgan Hill), according to the searches' organizer, the KlaasKids Foundation.


Volunteers should be at least 18 years old, and bring photo ID, said KlaasKids. They are advised to dress warmly, wear long pants, and sturdy, covered toe shoes.

“Searches will be by foot and be prepared for a variety of terrain from fields to dense woods including areas with increasing elevation,” wrote KlaasKids in a memo to volunteers.

The KlaasKids Foundation provides search-and-rescue services for missing children. They have been conducting searches for LaMar, who went missing on March 16, .

“The local community has come together and provided great support and volunteer efforts toward bringing Sierra LaMar home to her loving family,” KlaasKids wrote.  “The search efforts have been amazing with thousands of volunteers participating in the ongoing search for Sierra LaMar and keeping hope alive for her safe return.”

On Wednesday, the family of LaMar announced the creation of a website, www.FindSierraLaMar.com, which is dedicated to her search and safe return. New information will be updated as it becomes available.

The offensive comment we're discussing shows a complete lack of respect for women that permeates ourRead More culture. That this person actually thought this poor young girl had culpability for her attack is a symptom of our societies disregard for women. I'm actually glad he made the comment so we can look at and discuss the problem.

From one of the interviews I watched online, it seems that many Saratoga High students knew whatRead More happened at the party and had seen the pictures. How is it that arrests did not follow the assault and the suicide for over 6 months? Could it be that the students who knew information about the felony chose to remain silent? I hope that is not the case; we will surely find out as the details of the case are revealed in the media over the next weeks and months. In the meantime lets make sure we are teaching our kids about the responsibility of living in community and caring about others. God forbid that any of the students have to live with the knowledge that they could have prevented the suicide, or with the knowledge that they helped cover up such a heinous crime.
