Thank you to all who have been involved in the search for our missing SWW student, Zane Johnson.
The volunteer check-in and deployment schedules for Friday, July 10, 2026, are set for the following times: 9:00 a.m. – Initial Volunteer Briefing: Search teams will gather at 250 Maplewood Avenue (The Rose Garden at Maplewood Park) to receive quadrant assignments, maps, and safety protocols. 9:30 a.m. – Ground and Drone Launch: The first coordinated ground grids and volunteer drone sweeps will officially deploy to the trail sections. 1:00 p.m. – Midday Shift Check-in: A second briefing will take place at the staging area for afternoon volunteers who cannot make the morning launch. If you are planning to attend, organizers ask that you arrive 15 minutes early to sign in and be placed into a search group.

Staging Site Location Address: 250 Maplewood Avenue, Rochester, NY 14613 Arrival Time: Please arrive by 8:45 a.m. for the morning shift or 12:45 p.m. for the afternoon shift to ensure you are signed in before briefings begin. Quick Checklist for Volunteers Bring a fully charged cell phone and a portable power bank if you have one. Wear thick-soled boots or rugged sneakers, as the trail and riverbank areas are muddy and uneven. Dress in long pants and bring insect repellent for the heavily wooded brush sections.
Thank you all for your support! Let's find Zane!
