The family of Inesha Haygood, a missing Morristown woman, is starting their own search parties to help with the investigation.
"You're thankful you don't find her, but at the same time, it keeps us searching and looking for her. So, maybe we'll find her somewhere," said Inesha's mother, Brenda Haygood.
The family has received several phone calls about the location of Inesha's body. So far, none of those tips turned out to be true.
The latest anonymous phone call said Haygood's body was in the Cherokee Reservoir. The family has decided no tip is worth turning down.
"Might be true. A lot of it might be false. But you never know. The police department isn't telling us anything so all we have is leads," said Inesha's brother, Emanuel Haygood.
Saturday's search party spanned several miles. Friends and family stomped through mud and climbed over fallen tree limbs looking for any clues. All the while, their minds are focused on this 24-year-old mother.
"I have all kinds of thoughts running through my mind. I can't sleep. I don't know if she's dead or alive or if someone is tormenting her or what. I just don't know," said Brenda.
For her brother, each search gets harder.
"Reality has really set in now than when it first happened. It's more real now. It hurts more now," said Emanuel.
Inesha was last seen with an unknown male on the evening of December 28th, 2015.
The Morristown Police Department is handling this investigation.
