Eleven members of the Group participated in the search which eventually included more than 45 search & rescue personnel coming from as far as Richmond, Rockingham, Augusta and Fairfax counties.  Members of Dogs East, Blue and Gray Search Dogs, and K-9 Alert, a search groups composed of handlers and air sent dogs also participated.   A big assist came from a bloodhound man trailing team which gave the search management a clue that the missing women had left the community.  The search was organized at 7AM Saturday and was successfully concluded at 6:05 PM that evening with the discovery of the missing woman safe in Prince William County.
