The family has created a Facebook page “Find Franks”.

Today, David’s sister Chelsea thanked people for their support.

“Thank you for helping us get the word out there.
Thank you to all those who have dedicated their time to search for my brother, David. I want you to know that I’m so grateful for all of you.

“Thank you to everyone who put in the hours walking in ditches and wooded areas and long county roads, to those who went out on their kayaks, atvs, cars/trucks and by foot to help cover the area. I’m sorry there wasn’t better luck with our search.”
