Thank you to The Guardian for taking the time to tell Laura Miller’s story and the story behind why Texas EquuSearch exists today.

For Tim Miller, this was never just about one case. What began with the loss of Laura became a mission to help families facing the same uncertainty and heartbreak.

More than 40 years later, that mission continues every day through the work of Texas EquuSearch.

Laura’s story is not forgotten.

Throwback to our founder Tim Miller having a little fun beside his Circles of Excellence Criminal Justice Award recognition banner.

A moment that reflects both the recognition earned through years of service and the personality that has always been part of the mission.

Some memories are too good not to share.

Some moments are about searching.

Some moments are about bringing dignity, care, and peace to families still carrying loss.

This work takes compassion, patience, and people willing to stand beside others during the hardest moments of their lives.

That is part of the mission too.

A big thank you to Outriggers, Schaefer’s, and JLS Restaurants for once again hosting the Barefoot Charity Golf Tournament benefiting Bridge Over Troubled Water and Texas EquuSearch.

Karen Kim was on hand for the “Beat the Pro” challenge, helping raise funds for a great cause. Brandon Backe gave it a shot, but Karen held her ground.

We also want to thank Texas EquuSearch volunteers Beverly Smith, Debbie Doyle, Lisa Hansen, and Rilene Purvis for being there and representing the mission.

Special appreciation to John and Janae Schaefer. Thank you both for your continued support and for always showing up for Texas EquuSearch.

Y’all are family to us.

Texas EquuSearch Drone Team Leader Allen Smith introduces longtime volunteer Gene Robinson.

For over 20 years, Gene has been developing drone technology, training teams, refining software, and supporting searches across the country alongside Tim Miller.

As Allen launched the Texas EquuSearch Drone Team, he called on Gene to help bring that experience forward.

Today, a team of 10 Texas EquuSearch volunteers, with experience ranging from 1 to 20 years, is ready to support search efforts and help reduce the time it takes to find missing loved ones.

Thank you to each of these volunteers for giving your time, knowledge, and commitment to families who need answers.
