More than 100 volunteers help mother search for missing Middlebury College student

More than 100 volunteers help mother search for missing Middlebury College student : “More than 100 volunteers turned out [Saturday, April 26] for a search organized by the mother of missing Middlebury College student Nicholas Garza, who disappeared three months ago without a trace.

“Under overcast skies, scores of people combed soggy fields while kayakers traversed Otter Creek and K-9 units prowled the river’s banks.

“The search, spearheaded by Natalie Garza, Nicholas’ mother, began with an orientation at the college’s Kenyon Arena by Gary Peterson, a Midwest forensics investigator and consultant. Peterson organized the searchers and gave them their marching orders. Annette Spaulding of Rockingham, who specializes in underwater searches and rescues, also assisted.”
