The latest news from around North Texas.
Typhenie Johnson's family resumed searching for the missing 25-year-old Sunday, concentrating on the Fort Worth side of Lake Arlington.
Friends, family and strangers joined the search efforts, led by Johnson's twin brother Asher.
"I realize these people out here, they care about other people, because everybody has a family, so just knowing... the fact that one family member is missing out of the community, that kind of affects everybody in the community," said Asher Johnson.
Friends and family don't want to wait days or even minutes not searching for Johnson.
Fort Worth police will resume their search efforts on Monday.
A MOTHER BEGS FOR ANSWERS
Johnson's mother could barely speak through her tears Saturday.
"We just want to bring her home," Deborah Johnson Strub, sobbing.
25-year-old Johnson has been missing since Monday, after she disappeared from outside the Post Oak East Apartments on Tristan Lane in east Fort Worth.
Fort Worth Police arrested her ex-boyfriend Christopher Steven Revill, 32, Monday evening on a kidnapping charge.
Much of Johnson's family lives up north, driving down from Iowa, Wyoming and South Dakota over the last several days.
Through tears, Johnson's mother said she is so grateful that complete strangers would spend their time searching for her daughter.
"We've learned to love and trust everybody we meet," Strub said, adding that the Dallas-Fort Worth area is the largest city the family has been in. "Hopefully we find Typhenie and find her safe."
On Saturday night, friends, family, neighbors and search volunteers gathered for a prayer vigil in Euless.
"A hundred miles away, a thousand miles away, we're all here for one reason, to find my sister " said Asher Johnson, Typhenie's twin brother. "We're not done. It's not going to end until we find her."
Hundreds of police and volunteers have joined family members to search for Johnson.
Police said they have focused on two areas -- one is Sandy Lake Park where Revill's parents live. The other is close to Trinity Blvd. and 360, where investigators said Revill's cell phone led them.
Family, friends and volunteers gathered again Saturday afternoon to comb through rough terrain and trees near Trinity Boulevard.
