In addition to looking for a body, News 8 learned they are also looking for a black bag. So far, it's proving to be a daunting task.
"It's a big town. There's 21-square miles just in the town of Wolcott. And that doesn't include Waterbury where the vehicle was found, which is also a remote area where there could be absolutely dozens of places where Cindy's body could be."
For those walking the woods, its a painstaking process. Vegetation is in full bloom and it's difficult to see more than a few feet in any direction. But volunteers have strong motivation.
"I feel everybody feels, like they need to get together and help, help the family, and really solve this."
Late Wednesday afternoon, News 8 found police and fire crews setting up a base of operations to conduct both ground and water search around the American Italian Civic Club in Waterbury.
But at this point, finding Cannon's body is more about closure for the family and town than the criminal investigation.
"We're building a very, very strong case here. As I said yesterday, most of our case is based on science, a forensic science aspect, Wolcott Police Chief Neil OLeary stated. And we're very confident that we have a very, very strong case."
Chief O'Leary says the search will continue, just as long as volunteers keep coming forward.
