Florida Gov. Rick Scott is joining the search Saturday for a university student last seen nine days ago.
Scott will search in a wooded area in Gainesville for University of Florida student Christian Aguilar, the governor's office said.
The search will take place the same day a Florida teen is scheduled to make his first court appearance in connection with the killing.
Pedro Bravo, 18, is charged with murder in the killing of Aguilar, authorities said.
At the court hearing, a judge will assess the case and decide whether the teen will get bail, said Ron Kozlowski, his attorney.

Gainesville police posted a fresh plea Friday night, on the department's Facebook page, asking volunteers to report to the Florida Farm Bureau at 9 a.m. Saturday to resume the search for Aguilar.
Bravo's lawyer said his family initially volunteered to help in the search, only to be politely turned down by the victim's relatives.
