Nearly 2,000 volunteers showed up to help search for Madeline "Maddi" Kingsbury, a young mother from Winona, Minnesota who has been missing since March 31. The Winona County Sheriff's Office reported that 1,860 people showed up to search two areas in Winona and Fillmore Counties. After hours of searching, authorities didn't release any new information during a press conference midday on Friday. A second day of searching was organized for Saturday, and officials are still urging anyone with information about where Maddi might be to contact the police or Crimestoppers Minnesota.

"During the course of our investigation, we know that Maddi returned to her residence like Kerry Drive and went on to around 8:15 a.m. on March 31st," said Winona Police Chief Tom Williams during the press conference. "The vehicle that Maddi normally drives is a 2014 dark blue Chrysler Town and Country minivan." People interested in volunteering to search should be over 18 years old and capable of walking long distances over rough terrain. The search effort marks an impressive showing of support for Maddi's family and a dedicated community response to a missing person's case.
