The Search Began
After getting the call from the parents, Sheriff Berrong went about rallying the search party immediately. Before long, the local sheriff’s office and a Blackhawk helicopter, sent by the McGhee Tyson Airbase, were on the hunt for the missing boy.
Searching Everywhere
In addition to the helicopter searching from above, there was also a ground team of about 100 first responders who were on foot covering over 2,000 acres of mountainous regions. They were very vigilant in their search seeing it was night.
