As the disappearance of Sierra LaMar, 15, approaches the six-month mark, the KlaasKids Foundation announced it will reduce volunteer search efforts to Saturdays only.

Sierra LaMar’s family and the returning volunteers continue to hold out hope that the missing 15-year-old will be found, and they think keeping the case in the public eye is the best way to preserve that hope.

A Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Deputy was arrested by Morgan Hill Police July 4 for driving under the influence. Tyeler Fleckner, 27, who joined the force in November 2006, was not placed on administrative leave as a result, according to Sgt. Jose Cardoza, sheriff’s spokesman.

Four months after Sierra LaMar disappeared outside her north Morgan Hill home, authorities and searchers remain hopeful they will find the missing teen.

Volunteers are urged to join the search for Sierra LaMar or any evidence pointing to her whereabouts Saturday.

The family of Sierra LaMar has changed the criteria for a $25,000 reward for information about the teen’s disappearance. 

The rescheduled arraignment hearing for the Morgan Hill man accused of kidnapping and murdering Sierra LaMar was postponed again Thursday.

Antolin Garcia Torres, 21 of Morgan Hill, was charged Thursday with murdering Sierra LaMar, 15, who has been missing since March 16.
