Randy Shaffer called Tim Miller, director of Texas EquuSearch, to help with the search. Miller agreed and sonar equipped divers are scheduled to arrive next week. The assistance will reportedly be offered to the Shaffers at no charge.
Out of 730 cases that EquuSearch has investigated, Miller said that they have solved nearly 300 of them, either finding the missing person alive or finding the body.
Miller declined to say exactly where the teams would search, but he said that the Ugly Tuna Saloona would be a good starting point.
"When somebody is taken and there actually is a murder, 86% of them are found within a 12 mile radius of where they disappeared," he said.
According to Miller, EquuSearch also plans to look for Tony Luzio, who vanished several months before Shaffer.
Miller said that in the next two months, as many as 2,000 volunteers are expected to join the search.
