The large
search party will begin at 10 a.m. until the sun goes down on Sunday, November 7. Community members who want to help are meeting at a basecamp at the Lake Lena (Aazhoomog) Community Center on Grace Lake Road in Sandstone, Minnesota. Water and food will be provided, but organizers are encouraging people to bring extra.
Pine County Police suggest searchers use GPS tracking apps on their phones to let investigators know where they have searched, according to the
Facebook event that has important details for those interested in joining the search party.
Organizers also wrote that all searchers must wear blaze orange or neon green/yellow. Be prepared by dressing warm and bringing waterproof boots to navigate through swampland. They suggest bringing walkie talkies, whistles and anything else that may help search efforts.
This search is part of many efforts to find Ashley. Her family is offering a
$20,000 reward for anyone with information. They have hired a private investigator and set up a private tipline at 218-241-0341.
