Child Loss Sparks Giant Smokies Search Force
A missing child in the Great Smoky Mountains triggers a massive, multi-group search. Park personnel, military units, federal agents, volunteers, and local organizations join efforts, with up to 1,500 searchers at weekends and aid from helicopters, rescue squads, and Red Cross kitchens. Despite broad coverage, the child is not found.
