The search continues for a missing Lawrence County man

For Sunday's search, volunteers remained close to the area where White was living. His family said White suffered from a heart condition and couldn't walk for long periods of time without getting physically exhaused. His family also said they believe White went for a walk in the woods and simply lost his way.

Despite help from the dogs and the sheriff's office, searchers didn't find Steven on Sunday. But Pierce said they'll keep looking. Sheriff Mitchell said this was their third time searching the area.

Several groups and volunteers assisted investigators in the search including the Lawrence County Rescue Squad and two teams of search and rescue dogs from the North Alabama Search Dog Association and the Southeastern Search Dog Association. Sheriff Mitchell and White's family thanks everyone who helped.
