On horseback and on foot dozens of people searched the brush in Fort Worth looking for any sign of Glenda "Gail" Furch.
"I want closure, but I really don't want to find my mom out here because that gives me a little bit of hope that she's still somewhere else ... still alive," the missing woman's daughter, Shimon Furch admitted.
The 51-year-old grandmother hasn't been seen since she left her job at the General Motors Plant in Arlington on Sept. 28.
Her torched car was found the next week in an abandoned Dallas car wash.
"Throughout the day, when I wake up I just go, 'my momma's not here and I don't know where she is.' "
Dana Ames is the director of operations for United Response Search and Rescue, the organization that's led Saturday's effort.
More than 70 volunteers answered the group's call to comb through every inch of woods surrounding Furch's apartment complex and beyond.
"Best case scenario, we find Glenda. If we don't find Glenda, hopefully we'll find something that will lend some answers," Ames said.
"There's some items missing from the house. They're not releasing what those items are. We know what they are. We're looking for them. If we find them, we'll know it when we see them."
As volunteers continued to search, furch's daughters can't help but think that someone out there knows what happened to her mother. Furch's family has continued to beg anyone with information to call the police.
Volunteers plan to search again Sunday.
