But while an estimated 1,200 volunteers joined in the search effort in Memory Grove and City Creek Canyon Tuesday, slightly fewer than 300 volunteers showed up for Wednesday's search, according to organizers.

A command post was set up Wednesday for searchers at an LDS Church meetinghouse near 200 North and 100 West. Volunteers checked in and then were given a specific area in which to distribute Lori Hacking's photo.

News of Mark Hacking's apparent deceptions didn't seem to bother volunteer David Pratt. A laborer who took the day off to come help with the search, Pratt, 27, said he'd climbed all over Ensign Peak talking to those living in transient camps and calling out Lori Hacking's name.

"It doesn't really matter to me," Pratt said, referring to Mark Hacking. "She still needs to be found."
