The Find Sarah Majoras Facebook page that was created as the search began posted a statement echoing Kearns comment about the community.

"It's excruciatingly hard to say that the search for Sarah might be over but we can not abandon the family that we have created over the past 4 days and for most - over the past 16 years. This community is testament alone to the overwhelming Love that we had for Sarah, the same Love that she showed all of us day in and day out. We ask that you reflect and grieve and reach out for support if you need it."

The page, with over 10,000 friends in just 4 days,  served as a clearing house of information about the case and organizing searches for Majoras.
