Group needs volunteers to help search for missing Auburndale woman this weekend

The group searching for a missing Auburndale woman needs help as it coordinates its third search effort for 38-year-old Tonya Whipp. We Are The Essentials, a group of retired military and law enforcement members, will conduct the search on Sunday at 8:30 a.m. at Lake Blue Park in Auburndale and is looking for as many volunteers as possible. “We’re asking for volunteers to come forward who are able to walk, search on foot. We will not need ATVs, golf carts, or boats for this particular search,” said the group’s co-founder, Billy Lane.
