"The search warrant was obtained based on credible information and evidence gathered during the course of this investigation," said Porterdale Police Sgt. Michael Walden.
During a press briefing on Thursday afternoon, they confirmed that the search is for the remains of Morgan Bauer based on new information received recently and revealed that they have retrieved "items of evidentiary interest." Other than that, officials said they could not reveal additional information, and they aren't sure how long the search will take to complete because it is a large property.
"I would just ask for patience and of course they have waited so long and I'm asking them to wait a bit longer," Sgt. Walden said. "The professional men and women out there searching in the conditions they are, in they are trying. So, if they could just be patient with us a little bit, we will update them as soon as we know something and can tell them."
"[She’s in] shock," McClure said. "She’s not sure what’s going to come from this investigation, she’s not sure if that’s her daughter, she’s not sure of what they found because it’s so hush-hush."
McClure, who herself is a former dancer, started an organization called 4Sarah to reach out to young women and girls being taken advantage of and trafficked for sex.
"I’m actually a survivor of the sex industry," she said. "I worked in that lifestyle for a little over six years. 20 years ago today I actually walked away from it."
"There are thousands of girls in Georgia that are in the sex industry. That might mean they’re just a dancer, or they might be an escort, but every day their life is at risk."
"She’s mostly wanting people to know that she’s never going to give up looking for her daughter, and she has not through the 7 1/2 years," McClure said. "She’s been out there searching and constantly keeping her story alive.
