Selina Smethurst is Siewert’s sister.
She and one of Lynne’s daughters, Alyssa Siewert, have been looking for answers for over a month now.

Alyssa and her aunt said the sheriff’s office wasn’t able to give them more answers on the truck. So last week, they took matters into their own hands by visiting the area themselves.
“We’re acting as a forensic team, we are just civilians,” Alyssa said.
Alyssa says they found evidence of clothe, blonde hair and the truck itself. She shared photos of what they found with us.
“We found it very troubling to see that we have found so much yet they had supposedly done a search and rescue with four cadaver dogs and their dogs did not hit on anything,” she said.
But they didn’t stop there.
The two women, who live in Southern California, stayed for five days, interviewing people in the area for any tips.
“We had to mustard up our courage and get up there,” Smethurst said. “Just getting out of the car, Alyssa alone, and walking up to the house was terrifying.”
They say any evidence or tips were turned over to sheriff’s deputies.
Alyssa says she has not heard from the sheriff’s office since they were up there.
