A group of volunteers took part in a search for a missing Galt teen Friday morning. Aaron Brooks, 15, was last seen at Galt Community Park on Oct. 26, and that’s where Friday’s search was centered.
“We don’t know if foul play is involved, but we’re very concerned about his welfare. At this point we just don’t know,” Galt Police Department spokesman Ken Erickson said.
“I’m just frustrated in general that there have no calls, no leads, no sightings … it’s just a very grave situation when some things don’t happen,” the missing teen’s father, Bernie Brooks, said.
