Wisconsin police on Monday asked for 2,000 volunteers to help them search for missing 13-year-old Jayme Closs, CNN reports. In a press release, the Barron County Sheriff’s Department requested the volunteers come out on Tuesday to conduct an “expanded routine search for articles of evidentiary value that may be related to the incident.” CNN reports that the number of volunteers authorities asked for is equivalent to “two-thirds of the population of the small Wisconsin city near the teenager’s home.” Closs has been missing since Monday of last week, when her parents were found shot to death in their home. The sheriff’s department also released images of “vehicles of interest” in the case—a Black Acura MDX, a Black Ford Edge, and a Red/Orange Dodge Challenger—that were allegedly “in the area of the Closs home at the time of the incident.” While police have yet to identify any suspects or persons of interest, they have publicly stated that a 911 call was made from Closs’ mother’s phone and that the front door of the home was found “kicked in.” Police believe Closs was in the home at the time of the shooting.
