Some pledge to keep search alive for missing Tequesta teens; others back out

Heather Holden doesn't mind losing sleep while doing whatever she can to help find the two Tequesta teens who vanished at sea two weeks ago.

"It's been an emotional roller coaster, for sure," Holden, a mother of three from Stuart, said Thursday. "I am just as committed now as I was when I heard this story. There have been a lot of late nights and a lot of early mornings, but it's something I would willingly do again."

As the independently organized search for 14-year-olds Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen carried onto its 13th day Thursday, two groups of volunteers have since emerged.
