Texas group suspends search for Katelyn Markham
9:36 PM, Sep. 10, 2011
FAIRFIELD – On Saturday more than 130 people searched for Katelyn Markham.
Like all the other searches since the 22-year-old college student vanished on Aug. 14, this one – which began at 8 a.m. and ended about 7:30 p.m. – was unsuccessful.
Searchers used cadaver dogs, all-terrain vehicles and horses.
“We did cover a lot ground. We at least know where she’s not. We haven’t given up hope yet,” said Dave Rader, assistant search director with Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team.
No additional searches are scheduled, but that could change, Rader said.
“We have to take a step back. We covered a lot of ground in all directions. We’re going to hand over everything we’ve done so far to law enforcement and let them dictate to us if they need us to return to cover more areas.”
EquuSearch founder Tim Miller, who arrived Aug. 30 at the request of Markham’s family, plans to return to Texas, Rader said.
Rader said that if EquuSearch resumes searching, plans will be posted on the organization’s website, www.texasequusearch.org.
Rader noted that some volunteers have devoted much of the last four weeks to the search. “These people have put their lives on hold for somebody they don’t even know.”
Among those who helped search on Saturday, Rader said, were Donna Johnson, mother of Paige Johnson, a Florence teen who has been missing since Sept. 23, 2010; and Debbie Culberson, whose daughter, Carrie, vanished from her Blanchester, Ohio, home in 1996. Carrie’s boyfriend, Vince Doan, and some of his relatives were convicted in Carrie’s death, although the 22-year-old woman’s remains were never found.
