More family members joined the search for Bekime Elshani Sunday. Her sisters flew in from Maryland and New York to help look for her and, they say, to find answers.
"We're not going to stop until we know where she is," said Shresa Elshani, who came from New York.
The informal search party gathered at the McDonald's in Woodland Park Sunday morning. Roughly 60 people have stepped up to help, the Elshani sisters say.
The group is searching in the Woodland Park area but would not provide specifics for fear it might hamper their search efforts. However, they said they're focusing on areas Elshani's boyfriend, Daniel Dereere, liked to camp.
Last week, Dereere committed suicide police say, before they were able to talk to him about her disappearance. They suspect foul play is involved.
Elshani's sisters are still holding out hope. "There's always hope," said Shpresa Elshani. "We need to know what happened. It's the respectful thing to do."
