One hundred concerned residents helped look for the child. Dermot was actually one of these volunteers. The police arrived at the house of the family to lead the search. Everyone knew that it was going to be a long night. They all felt worried and hoped that Alice was all right. They did not mind spending hours looking for her if it meant bringing her home safely.

They roamed the area and yelled her name. The volunteers looked for her both on the roads and in the fields. A hundred people were doing this, but no one found a trace of the young girl.

Everyone tried to stay hopeful since they did not find any indication that she was harmed either.
