The Searchers

When someone's lost in rough terrain, Santa Clara County's team of volunteers saddles up

Real people live just off the freeway. Far from the rage of frustrated commuters, but close to where their hearts lead them, they gather to help others. Kris Black is one of them. "I love people. I love animals. I love life," she says simply. She is a volunteer who is willing to be hauled out of bed in the middle of the night to search for a lost child. A mom who says she's a little overweight but who is game to trek along steep canyons and through stickers in hopes of finding a shred of evidence that might help solve a brutal crime.   More
