NEW ORLEANS -- As the search for two 13-year-old brothers missing since Easter entered its third day, a national search arrived in New Orleans to help find the boys.
Aaronne Simmons, the father of Aaronne Mitchell and Aaronne Russell, said he was more optimistic now that Texas EquuSearch has joined local authorities YES!!! in the search for his boys along Lake Pontchartrain.
Simmons informed the volunteers from Texas that he found dog leash and a pair shorts he believes belong to one of his sons. The boys were last seen walking two dogs along the lakefront levee.
“I am very positive about this morning,” said Simmons. “We got the professional people out here. We gonna find them.”
Around 7 a.m., Wildlife and Fisheries began using a search plane to patrol the area on the lake near Hayne Boulevard and Bayou Sauvage.
Tim Miller, from Equusearch, said high winds were a concern and could possibly delay the use of a boat and sonar equipment to search for the teens.
“We know every minute is very, very important,” said Miller. “We’re on Day 4. We are certainly going to hold to that hope. We certainly believe in miracles.”
