At the request of Caldwell County HSEM, TEXSAR deployed IMT and GSAR resources to assist with evidence recovery, ground search assistance, and IMT support.

16 TEXSAR - Zuzu Verk Missing Person 2016 October 12th 2016, 22 year old, Sul Ross Student Zuzu Verk went missing after a date with her boyfriend Robert Fabian.
