Command center directing the search for Katie Jo Brewer, 71, of Bonham moved to the Bonham Fire Department on Monday and another day of the intensive search operation continued.

As many as 300 community volunteers joined agencies dedicating resources to the search on Sunday. 

On Monday, the search continued to focus on east Bonham. 

Area residents are asked to check their property, outbuildings, vehicles, trailers -- anyplace someone might seek shelter from the recent rain.

Anyone having any information, please call the Bonham Police Department immediately at 903-583-2141.

Mrs. Brewer was last seen in east Bonham just after 1:00 a.m. Saturday morning.

At approximately 8:15 a.m. Saturday, September 12, Tom Brewer notified the Bonham Police Department that his wife was missing. 

Officials believe Mrs. Brewer may still be in the east Bonham area and they ask all residents to please check garages, vehicles, outbuildings and wooded areas near their property.

Two different sets of dogs were used in an attempt to track the missing woman.  Although recent rain made the dogs' task difficult, there was an indication one of the dogs picked up the scent briefly near a creek in east Bonham.

Shoes the family identified as most probably those worn by Mrs. Brewer were found embedded in mud and, judging from the direction the shoes were pointed, it would appear the woman was making her way to the southeast part of Bonham where she lives on Carpenter Circle.

A DPS helicopter from Garland conducted an aerial search on Sunday, as did at least one local pilot in a fixed-wing aircraft, but to no avail.

Officials would like to express their appreciation at the community's outpouring of support and resources to this local emergency.  Red Cross staff estimate they served 700 meals during the all-day search on Sunday, thanks to donations from Feed Sack Restaurant in Windom, Cappy's Cafe, Italian Garden Restaurant, Riverbend Restaurant, Brookshire's and Wal-Mart. 

If you have any information that might help, please call the Bonham Police Department at 903-583- 2141.
