RICHMOND, Va. -- Family, friends and volunteers continued their search this weekend for Cameron Cole, a Prince George father who has been missing for more than a week.
Cole’s car was recently discovered, spray painted a different color, after it crashed during a police chase. Three people found in Cole's car were arrested in connection to another man's murder.
Volunteers came from as far away as Virginia Beach on Sunday to help in the search, which took place along Maury Street in Richmond's Blackwell neighborhood.
Family and friends also searched Saturday for any sign of Cole at Dutch Gap in Chester because they said his car last pinged there about 2:15 a.m. on Monday and was not seen on camera until 6 p.m. later that day.
