“Two searches were conducted across Northwest Missouri on Wednesday afternoon in the search for two Wisconsin men who are presumed missing, but neither effort located the men.
According to Buchanan County Sheriff Bill Puett, seven of his deputies are participating in the multi-agency search after their help was requested Tuesday night. Sheriff Puett is also part of the search.
The exact address listed on the warrant was not immediately available Wednesday, but Puett said it was the Caldwell County Sheriff's Department that obtained the warrant.
Clinton County Sheriff Larry Fish said there was another site being searched in Clinton County near Missouri Highway 116 and State Route PP. The site is an ‘open area’ and doesn't require a search warrant.
That location is close to a small dirt commuter lot, a few hundred yards away from two gas stations. According to a press release from the Clinton County Sheriff's Office, that lot is where the brothers' rental car was found.
‘My folks are out here to work an area and do a search,’ Puett said Wednesday. ‘We're at a location out here in Caldwell county and we're gonna be out here and help them check an area.’
‘We've had folks helping from the start but this is a more aggressive response today,’ Puett said.

Cameron Police Chief Rick Basehor said the fact that several law enforcement agencies from across the region have pitched in to help shows how seriously police are taking the case.
‘Like I say when you see all the law enforcement coming together to follow up on all of these leads, it's being taken very seriously,’ Basehor said. ‘I think in rural areas like this, all departments look toward that.’
‘If we have some success they'll probably be able to be more forthcoming with information,’ Puett said.

Chief Bashor said the next media release would come when significant news was available.”
