GOODVIEW, Minn. — Some of them drove hours to help look.
They came from the Twin Cities, Wisconsin, and across town. They took time away from work. They came on their days off.
They were all hoping for the best.
"I'm very hopeful, but obviously, the realization is that it might not be as positive as everyone hopes," said Courtney Lindley, a volunteer who drove from Onalaska, Wisconsin. "But closure for the family is a huge thing, too."
From there, the search began. They looked through residential yards and along wooded riverbeds. Behind sheds and underneath boats docked on trailers in the grass.
Volunteers Macy Houska and Rob Prestwood waded through a river stream. Houska had rubber boots. Prestwood didn't.
Matthew Kramer, one of the search leaders from the Goodview Fire Department, encouraged his volunteers to stay vigilant.
"This is the point of it: searching all the grounds," he said. "Don't kind of phase out and just start walking — keep looking as thoroughly as you can. As tedious as it is, and how (rough) the terrain can be, just keep looking."
Some property owners were accommodating to the search crews. Others were less so.
"We're a search team from the county," Kramer responded to a property owner who threatened to call the police.

It's easy to begin to lose hope in humanity -- and for sure there's no shortage of grief and no end to the inhumanity -- but it's times like these, when good people with good hearts show up that make me feel proud to be human.

Is it possible for the public to check air traffic history? In/out of airports on any given day in the past? Have no experience with that type of searching/sleuthing but I know many here are very skilled at finding flight records so wondering if airport traffic from days passed is also possible to access.
Yes. And unfortunately, how many times does it seem to be the case that that delay later contributes often to difficulties and trouble in getting things started.
Neither was Kelsey Berreth's home.
BBMKingsbury works at Mayo Clinic and is a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, her sister said.
“This community has really rallied around us, and so many wonderful people have traveled from all over the state and beyond to come and help find my sister,” Megan Kingsbury said. “We’re beyond grateful, and we’re truly touched.”
Reward offered for information in 'suspicious' disappearance of Winona woman
Winona police continue to ask the public for help in the search for 26-year-old Madeline “Maddi” Kingsbury, and her family is now offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts.www.mprnews.org
The children’s father told police he left the home in Kingsbury’s minivan — a dark blue 2014 Chrysler Town and Country — at about 10 a.m., and that Kingsbury was not home when he returned later in the day.
“We believe a van similar to Maddi’s van was driven on County Road 12 and (State) Highway 43 in Winona County, and then southbound on Highway 43 through the eastern part of Fillmore County,” Williams said. “Later a van similar to Maddi’s traveled back toward Winona on Highway 43. All of this occurred between approximately 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. We believe the van remain parked in the driveway of Maddi’s residence from 1:30 p.m. on. Nothing to date has indicated that Maddi left the residence on foot or in another vehicle.”
Authorities are not looking for the van. Williams said they searched it, and the home, and found Kingsbury’s phone, wallet and ID, along with the jacket she had been wearing the morning she went missing.
