Several dozen volunteers joined Stephanie's family on Sunday morning to search for her. They gathered at the Walmart on Goldenrod Road to expand the radius of where she was last seen.

“We’ve been searching for about five days here, and we’re just trying to spread the search out,” said her brother Chad Chitwood. “Today’s the day we’re going to find Stephanie."

With the help of friends, Chitwood organized maps and deployed about 50-60 volunteers.

Stephanie's husband is also asking that any businesses in the area of Hoffner and Goldenrod check their surveillance cameras.

He has vowed to search for his wife until they find her, telling FOX 35 that "we are looking for you. We don't know what's going on. But we're going to find you."
