Private team gives up search; volunteers continue

By: News 8 Austin Staff

A specialized recovery team has called off its volunteer search for Rachel Cooke.

EquuSearch has had no luck in finding the Georgetown woman.

Cooke, 19, has been missing since Jan. 10. She went for a jog near her home and has not been seen since.

From then, thousands of searchers, from law enforcement to volunteers, have searched the area around Cooke's home.

EquuSearch, a nonprofit group, came in with high hopes, but is headed back to Houston without success.

However, some local volunteers will continue to search for Rachel Cooke. Those volunteers are based at Faith Lutheran Church in Georgetown.
