The family of Sierra LaMar increased the reward for information leading to the missing Morgan Hill teen’s safe return home.

The primary cause of deaths on local streets and highways remains drunken driving, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s office and the "Avoid the 13" DUI Task Force will keep up with its DUI enforcement in the county as a result of a recent $101,500 grant awarded by the California Office of Traffic Safety. The Sheriff’s office will administer the grant for the entire county on behalf of the Santa Clara County Police Chiefs’ Association.  

Investigators looking for missing north Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar will continue their efforts to find her by examining sonar images of the depths of local reservoirs taken earlier this week, according to a sheriff’s spokesman. 

The search for Sierra LaMar, 15, will expand to San Martin and Gilroy Thursday, nearly three weeks after the missing Morgan Hill resident was reported missing. 

Still hampered by a dearth of leads, law enforcement authorities began to swarm the areas surrounding the home of missing 15-year-old Sierra LaMar Saturday morning. 

Law enforcement investigators have interviewed more than 50 teenagers in Morgan Hill and Fremont in hopes of turning up some clues that might lead them to find Sierra LaMar, 15, who has been missing since Friday, authorities said. 

A 69-year-old Gilroy man who was murdered Saturday morning in his Leavesley Road home had a lengthy criminal history dating back 30 years in Santa Clara County, including a 2008 police raid that turned up drugs, guns and a wanted parolee, according to court records.
