Oh golly! If she is suffering from delusions like that it will be extremely hard for LE to find her. She will hide from them.

“We’re a big community,” he said. “We all care. We’re all out here .... we can go as long as we need to.”

Wadley credits the donated supplies to develop what started as a pickup truck and a water cooler this weekend into a command center capable of serving volunteers around-the-clock.

Deputy James Allerton, a spokesman for Pima County Sheriff’s Department, said the community involvement is appreciated.

He emphasized the importance of any potential volunteers being fully prepared for the elements.

”The desert can be unforgiving and the last thing we want is to have another search here because someone was not prepared to come out to this area,” he said.

Allerton said on Monday evening that "every available resource has been used in an attempt to locate her," adding that more than a dozen organizations have been involved in the search.

Jelineo said a sheriff's department helicopter is assisting in the search as well as a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol helicopter. Officials are looking for Galloway in an area north of West Picture Rocks and east of North Sandario roads, near Saguaro National Park West.

Jelineo said there is a lot of desert in between houses, which could make it hard to see Galloway from the helicopters. Members of the Picture Rocks community have been assisting in the search as well as canine search units.

Southern Arizona Mounted Search & Rescue members were also covering terrain on horses and mules.

The world sure does seem so much bigger when you are searching for these missing people...
I hope she did not run off out into the desert! It is starting to warm up here now. The critters, like snakes, are starting to come out now, too. That's what they have been saying on the news. I don't go anywhere where the chances of me running into one are high!

I know exactly how you feel. The scorpions & rattlers are awake here in my area (western AZ) and I worry the same for Sara. Sigh.
