When Holly disappeared, the weather was mild, but weeks into the search, violent storms flooded Decatur County and caused widespread damage to roads and buildings. The storms brought the search to a temporary halt. Eventually, volunteers were able to go back out in the foggy and damp weather. They put on yellow ponchos and raincoats that fell beneath their knees.

A few days into the search, they did find something. It was hanging off a big stick in a creek. Holly's lunch bag, the one her mom had packed for her the morning she disappeared. The sandwich her mom made her was still inside. It was a potential breakthrough. Was this something that could lead to more of Holly's belongings or to Holly? Agent John Walker decided to follow the creek.

And within 30 minutes, he came upon another clue, Holly's school notebook. But investigators didn't find anything else that day. The lunch bag and notebook seemed to be dead ends.

The searches went on for weeks. They covered over 200 miles of roads in Decatur County and over 1,000 square miles. They canvassed six neighboring counties as well. While the volunteer army continued their search, investigators from local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies were gathering leads.
