On Monday, the Jackson County Sheriff's Department and Sidie's family and friends searched around Hatfield, within walking distance of her home. Search parties headed out around noon, in the woods off of County Highway K, where dogs searched for the past few days.
Alisha Sidie’s two-year-old twin boys point to a picture of their mother, as their father Doug Sidie holds them close Monday morning.
“My mama, my mama,” says one of Alisha Sidie’s two-year-old twin.
His father tries to comfort the toddler.
“Yeah, that's your mama, buddy," Doug Sidie tells him.
Doug Sidie cuddled his two two-year-olds on a cold Monday morning, before leaving the little ones to search for their mother.
"She's young. She's fun-loving. She's a good mother. She's great with the kids," he says. "A lot of good friends have gotten together and gotten fliers out. She had a lot of good family and friends. I hope she comes home. She brought the boys home. There was a short argument between us two, and then she left on foot,” recalls Sidie. “That’s all I know, for now.”
Around 9:19 p.m, one of Alisha’s friends reported she received a voice-mail from Alisha. Jackson County Sheriff Duane Waldera says there was a tearful phone message left, but there was nothing panicked about it. She was simply asking her friend to return a phone call.
"We do know she made a couple of phone calls right there after 9 o'clock,” Waldera says. “As to what was in the phone calls, I do not know."
More than 50 people showed up to help on Monday, first signing up at the Hatfield Fire Department and then congregating at The Mug tavern. The first group of 25 family and friends headed out to search the woods near the East Arbutus County Park, off of County Highway K.
Canine units heavily searched the area between County Highway K, Clay School Road, nearby railroad tracks and a river. Luther Midelfort’s Medlink helicopter also surveyed the area from the skies, looking for any signs of Alisha.
"I do not have any information that would say that she’s not alive,” says Sheriff Waldera.
"We just want her to come home,” pleads Doug Sidie. “Whatever happened we just want her to come home."
