Volunteers Needed For Kelly Morris Search

October 17, 2008

Texas EquuSearch will begin the full scale search for Kelly Morris tomorrow at 8:00 a.m.

Kelly is a 28-year-old mother of two who went missing from her Stem, N.C., home on Sept. 3, 2008. Investigators have named her husband, William "Scott" Morris, a person of interest in the case.

We will be in need of foot searchers, ATV's and horse searchers, along with volunteers to man the command post. All volunteers are welcome. You must be 18 years old and present a valid photo ID. Plan to wear long pants, long sleeve shirt, have a walking stick, good walking shoes or boots and bug spray.

Volunteers are asked to meet at the command center, which is located at:

2816 Old Weaver Trail
Creedmoor, N.C. 27522

We finished mapping out the search areas this afternoon and we were able to conduct several small scale ATV searches. We also explored wooded areas around Kelly's burned out house and led a K9 team out an area where someone had reported an "unusual smell."

I am going to the airport later tonight, to pick up Gene Robinson, an EquuSearch team member, who operates the drone plane – an electrically powered plane that is capable of flying in and out of remote areas. The drone is equipped with a high-resolution camera, which can be used to photograph specific areas so that they can be further scrutinized. To date, the drone has been successful in locating the remains of five missing persons.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Thanks so much for the update, and hopefully tomorrow will be a productive day. (Which sounds awful considering the target of your search.) One of the great things about your blog is that it educates us about technology like the drone.

Something that these @$#%&*$ who don't believe in divorce should keep in mind; that ultimately there is no hiding place.

I hope that you are able to find this woman. It is the epitome of selfishness that drives murderers not only take the lives of others , but lie and conceal to benefit themselves. That seems to be the thread that runs through all of these cases. No remorse, no consideration for the wide swath of damage done to family, friends and the community at large. At least, sometimes, there are killers that sincerely regret their actions and come clean. Sorry for the mini rant.

Thank you, thank you Tim, and all others who are able to participate. Godspeed.
