After more than a week of searching with the help of the state Highway Patrol and water rescue teams from neighboring counties, Rockingham County Emergency Services Director Rodney Cates said Friday, âOur search efforts are scaled back to county resources at this time.â
Last Monday, the patrol sent a helicopter to Rockingham to assist in the recovery mission. On Wednesday, Cates and other officials worked with a private canine handler from Raleigh to search the Dan for Teresa Villano, Cates said.
