i'm beginning to think this is futile. there's a LOT of wells (oil) out there. and i don't recall reading that bodies of water have been dragged/searched by divers.
Kampfer said there have been no leads that indicate Hailey Dunn could be found in the lake and to drag it would be expensive. oh great.
"It is cavernous," Kampfer said of the lake, which is located southwest of the city. "It is like a canyon — the bottom, shaped like a 'V,' so it would be very difficult to drag it." TEXAS EQUUSEARCH HAS SIDE-SCAN SONAR!! BRING THEM IN!

COLORADO CITY, Texas -- About 50-55 people are combing areas near Colorado City, searching for missing teen Hailey Dunn, and, for the first time, in a search coordinated with law enforcement.
The groups of people are searching areas at the request of law enforcement authorities who are also following their leads.
The volunteers responded after both KlaasKids and the Laura Recovery Project arrived Tuesday to help coordinate volunteer searches. KlaasKids and the Laura Recovery Project are national organizations that help organize searches for missing children.
After a briefing at the Colorado City Civic Center, the volunteers split into two smaller groups to begin an organized grid search.
KTXS News has learned that Mark Klaas, the leader of his organization, will arrive in Colorado City this evening.
Volunteers are being asked to meet daily at the Colorado City Civic Center to join the search. Whenever 10 or more volunteers gather, they'll be sent out as part of the coordinated search, officials said.
The earliest search parties will be sent beginning at 9 a.m. Other search parties will be put together as volunteers gather throughout the day.

COLORADO CITY, Texas -- The parents of missing Colorado City teenager Hailey Dunn have not given hope. Far from it.
Hailey's mother, Billie Dunn, said Wednesday there's one primary message she wants out: "We're looking for a living, breathing little girl. We're not looking for a corpse."
She made this statement through a spokesperson, a family friend who answered the door at her house in Colorado City. Billie Dunn has not spoken directly with KTXS since KTXS first released the law enforcement affidavits last week.
Clint Dunn, Hailey's father, also said he was not giving up hope. He met with volunteer searchers at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the bridge in the community of Dunn where a make-shift memorial has sprung up on the railings along the bridge.
The railing contains dozens and dozens of stuffed animals attached to the railings.
Clint Dunn thanked the volunteers in a brief emotional moment of prayer and encouragement. The search volunteers call themselves "Hailey's Angels."
Clint Dunn later said he is meeting with a private investigator Wednesday, and also with a psychic, to pursue any possible new leads. He said that he would not be going out with search parties through fields because he wouldn't want to see his daughter that way.
