* Search expands to new parts of Natchez Trace State Park
* Authorities are asking for 1500 volunteers a day over the weekend
* Family and friends still believe Holly is alive
(Memphis 4/22/11) Investigators had most search parties scouring Natchez Trace State Park on Friday, including a couple of new areas they hadn't yet tried.
They also had people retracing steps in places they had already been, to make sure nothing was missed.
Close to 800 volunteers reported to help on Friday during daylight, falling short of the 1500 authorities asked for each day of the holiday weekend.
TBI did not confirm any new information on Friday, and continued to say the DNA tests on blood found outside the Bobo home could not be released.
The Decatur County Sheriff called the search results "very frustrating."
As everyone grows physically weary, they all stay emotionally determined to bring Holly home safely.
T-shirts bearing the favorite scripture of Holly's mother were sold for the Holly Bobo Fund.
The proceeds are not going to the reward fund, but to Holly herself.
D'Lynn Burton, a close family friend and neighbor, helped sell the shirts. "Her mother asked me. When Holly comes home, she wants her to have some money so she can go on a vacation, or just treat herself with anything she wants."
So far 2,500 shirts have been sold at $12 apiece.
Holly's pastor from Corinth Baptist Church is planning a special Easter sunrise service at the Decatur County Fairgrounds on Sunday.
