JCSO said it’s increased the search area and are thankful to the volunteers who are helping out.

“You know search and rescue is primarily made up of volunteers, you know people that get the training, they come out and they get qualified in search and rescue techniques and then you know they volunteer their time for the goodness of other”, said Aaron Lewis, JCSO.

JCSO also said recent weather made the search difficult.

They’re asking people to look out for John. He doesn’t have a vehicle and does not drive.
