Nearly 700 people from the South Bay and South Santa Clara Valley areas, and even a few from outside the state, trekked to Morgan Hill to volunteer their time in the search for missing teen Sierra LaMar, as police announced Tuesday their investigation has ruled out the possibility that she ran away on her own. 

Over the last week, Gilroy Police responded to several burglaries, assaults, drug incidents and even a person urinating on Monterey Street. Here are a few standout incidents.

Hundreds of people - some estimate as many as 600 - from all over the South Bay and points farther south showed up to volunteer Tuesday morning for the search for Sierra LaMar, 15, who was reported missing from her north Morgan Hill home March 16.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office has investigated more than 350 leads and spent the weekend combing vast areas of South County with the help of nearby law enforcement agencies trying to locate 15-year-old Sierra LaMar. But the Morgan Hill teen remains missing after 11 days. 

A joint funeral will be held for Martha Gutierrez, Abel Gutierrez and Lucero Luna-Gutierrez on Wednesday at 10 a.m. at Saint Mary’s Church.

Stacy Lonnberg, the 51-year-old Gilroy woman who is charged with murder for allegedly driving drunk and causing a Jan. 14 car accident that killed her husband and daughter, is scheduled to enter a plea on Thursday at the Santa Clara County Superior Court at 2 p.m.

The sentencing of the former San Jose policer officer from Gilroy who pleaded no contest to two counts of unlawful sexual contact with two teen boys is slated for April 30.

Sierra LaMar, 15, remains missing 11 days since she was last seen before leaving to catch her school bus in Morgan Hill. The public is now being asked to volunteer in a search party organized by the KlaasKids Foundations that could attract hundreds of people.

No new evidence. No new leads.

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.
