Marion Willis, the founder and executive director of St. Boniface Street Links, is organizing volunteers to help conduct a co-ordinated search.

“To me when somebody has been missing since Wednesday, I don’t think knocking on people’s doors is going to help much. I think there needs to be a co-ordinated ground search,” said Willis.

She said the group has received a ‘huge response’ of people interested in helping.

Willis said one volunteer has expertise in ground searching and, will help searchers target specific areas.

“We are working with other family members to make this happen,” she added.

The group will meet Sunday at 11 a.m. at 311 Provencher Blvd.
