The Lewis County Sheriff's Department searched Stonewall Jackson Lake Tuesday for clues.
ROANOKE -- Pamela Smith and Nancy Pugh have been waiting for this day.
For eight years they have had nothing but questions about the disappearance of their relatives, Maxine Stalnaker and Mary Friend.
Tuesday, Smith and Pugh said they hoped to get some answers.
Stalnaker and Friend vanished in December 1999. Five days after they disappeared, one of the women's cars turned up abandoned in Harrison County.
In 2002, some men were fishing here near Skin Creek bridge when they came across the purse of one of the missing women.
Deputies dove into the lake and didn't find anything. After that, the trail went cold, and the investigation has been inactive for five years — until now.
"It means a great deal," Smith said. "It's overwhelming that possibly they might be able to find something."
On Tuesday morning, the Lewis County Sheriff's Department scoured the waters of the Stonewall Jackson Lake.
The two crews went looking for any clues that could lead them to Stalnaker and Friend.
Sheriff Michael Gissy said this search could be different.
Equipped with Video Ray technology, the sonar tools can map the bed of the lake and act as another set of underwater eyes.
"If there's anything in the water we'll find it," said Chris Gibson, Video Ray owner. "If not, they can move on with the investigation."
That is why authorities are combing the area once again. "Our hope is to find proof and evidence that our missing women are here," Gissy said.
As of noon Tuesday, the crews had located 10 spots of interest under water but had not found anything they considered evidence.
Gissy said his department has a person or persons of interest in this case.
mother and daughter, never found.
