Wednesday, Sep 10, 2014 • Updated at 11:08 PM CDT
The Federal Aviation Administration has now given the non-profit search and rescue group from Houston called EquuSearch clearance to use a drone between Sept. 11-15 to help look for a 23-year-old woman who went missing in Plano.
"It's an emotional roller coaster," said Sarah Estes, the victims' step-sister. "We're staying positive, but every once in a while reality sets in."

FAA approves drone use to search for Christina Morris
Posted Wednesday, Sep. 10, 2014
The Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday gave a Houston-based search-and-recovery group approval to use a drone in the search for Christina Marie Morris, a 23-year-old Fort Worth woman last seen in a Plano parking garage.
Morris was last seen walking with a male friend through the garage at The Shops at Legacy at 3:55 a.m. Aug. 30.
The volunteer group Texas EquuSearch sued the FAA this year over a February warning they received against drone usage. Morris’ stepmother said she is glad EquuSearch was granted emergency approval this time.
“They can cover more ground quicker, so that just to me means she might be getting home sooner rather than later,” Anna Morris said. “It’s good to have everything we can have, but it was frustrating waiting for it.”

Weather delays drone from flying in Plano search
8:19 a.m. CDT September 11, 2014
PLANO — The search for Christina Morris finished another day on Wednesday without any credible leads. Searchers on foot, by horseback and all-terrain vehicles covered nearly 20 square miles in Plano and Allen.
"I can say that we're frustrated, but we're not ready to quit," said Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch.
