Volunteers Needed as Search for Brian Wiegand Continues

The search for Brian Wiegand, a Whitehall resident reported missing in March, is continuing as community members and volunteers work to cover key areas and bring him home.

Brian was reported missing on March 17, 2026. According to family members, he was last seen by them during the morning hours of March 13 in the 1100 block of E. Colby Street. His last known contact with non-family members occurred at 1:21 p.m. that same day in the 3000 block of W. White Lake Drive. He was last seen wearing a black jacket and carrying a neon green backpack.

Search organizers say more volunteers are still needed, as efforts now focus on completing the bike trail and surrounding wooded areas.
