Volunteers to search for missing woman

Lisa Green - missing - worked at Randall Publishing
Tuscaloosa News
TUSCALOOSA | Volunteers will comb areas of Tuscaloosa County this morning where they believe they might find evidence or remains of Lisa Ann Green.
Members of the nonprofit mounted search and recovery team Texas EquuSearch will work with volunteers from Randall-Reilly Publishing, where Green, who disappeared in late July, worked.
'If nobody searches for Lisa, she'll probably never be found,' said organization founder and director Tim Miller. His organization has been involved in more than 870 searches in the last eight years, he said, including the search for missing Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba.
Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, had plans to join searchers this morning. Miller was reluctant to say where the volunteers would search, for fear that someone may tamper with or move evidence.
Investigators are still unclear about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
'We don't know what happened to her, but we must consider all possibilities, including foul play,' said Capt. Loyd Baker, commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit.
She was last seen at an apartment on Cypress Avenue. A co-worker said that she had plans to meet a friend at the Vieux Carre bar on Skyland Boulevard to discuss a fundraiser she was planning.
She called her father at 8:20 p.m. to say she was on her way to pick up her son but never showed up.
An off-duty police officer found her 2000 Dodge Ram extended-cab pickup in the parking lot of Food World on University Boulevard East, in the Five Points area.
'We welcome the assistance that the search teams can bring us,' Baker said. 'We are trying to focus their efforts in the areas we feel will mostly likely reveal evidence.'
Miller said about a dozen volunteers from Houston will join volunteers from Randall-Reilly and the community at 8:30 a.m. today at Randall-Reilly's offices, where they will board buses to the area to be searched. Miller said that the Texas volunteers may search on horseback.
'We've had a tremendous amount of success,' he said of the organization he founded in 2000 after his daughter Laura was abducted and murdered. 'There's a lot of strength in numbers.'
The organization has found the remains of 81 victims, at least 35 of which Miller said would not have been found without the organization's efforts. EquuSearch has also helped locate missing people and return them home.
Searchers will meet at Randall-Reilly's American Impact Marketing building on next to a self-storage facility on Rice Mine Road at 8:30 a.m.
Miller said that volunteers are needed to help with the ground search, as well as help hand out food and water to the searchers.

TUSCALOOSA | More than two months after she was reported missing, investigators have released an image showing Lisa Ann Green at a grocery store the night she disappeared.
The image is from a video taken at a grocery store in the Five Points area of Tuscaloosa. An off-duty police officer found Green’s 2000 extended-cab Dodge Ram pickup in the parking lot on Aug. 4.
“She enters and exits the store with no incident," said Capt. Loyd Baker, commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit. “We don’t know if something happened after she left, or if she left on her own free will with someone."
Baker said that Green, 44, made a purchase, but it wasn’t a full load of groceries.
Green worked in the telemarketing and recruiting departments at Randall-Reilly Publishing Co. for nearly two years. Her family last saw her on Friday, July 27, at her apartment in the 4800 block of Cypress Creek Avenue.
She had plans to meet a friend at the Vieux Carre Lounge in McFarland Mall to talk about a fundraiser that she was helping plan for the following Saturday.
She called her father at 8:20 p.m. and said that she was on her way to pick up her 13-year-old son. She never showed up.
Surveillance footage from the grocery store, which Baker declined to name, shows her shopping at 9:30 p.m.
Randall-Reilly has offered a $5,000 reward for anyone who provides information about Green’s location.
She is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 110 pounds.
Anyone with information regarding Green’s whereabouts is asked to call the Tuscaloosa Police Department at 205-349-2121 or Crime Stoppers at 205-752-7867.
