Bus Runs/Experienced Searchers Out

A massive coordinated effort is on in Orange.

The search for 13-year-0ld Isabella Oleschuk, who has been missing since early Sunday morning continues with trained professionals searching several areas of town and well-meaning untrained citizens chomping at the bit.

The parking lot behind Fire Station #2 on the Boston Post Road is crowded with cars and busses are making runs from the firehouse to the staging area where the firefighters and police officers are conducting their search.

Depending on how long it takes to find Isabella, the police may begin calling upon the untrained citizens for help, but right now, it is too dangerous with boot sucking mud and thick overgrown woods.
