A woman from rural Horton has been missing for one week. Patricia Kimmi, 58, was last seen the evening of Friday, November 6.
Crews have been out searching for Kimmi since last Saturday. They found a few items authorities believe may be connected to her disappearance.
Every day this week, about 100 volunteers have met up at the Horton fire station. They sign in and head out in groups of four or five. Searchers are trying to stay optimistic, but they say they need even more help.
“Power in numbers. We just need more people to cover more ground,” family friend Shelly McClain said. “We're going to find her.”
Investigators say the focus of the search is areas west of Horton toward Sabetha. So far, crews say they’ve covered more than 900 square miles.
Anyone with information about Kimmi's disappearance should call the Atchison County Sheriff's Office at 913-367-4323 or Topeka Crime Stoppers at 785-234-0007.
