"GREEN COUNTY, Wis. (WMTV) - For hours on Friday afternoon, family and friends of Melissa Trumpy searched in the area between Freeport, Illinois and Shannon, Illinois.
“We’re searching in ditches, cornfields, woods, under bridges, in creeks,” said Ben Affrunti, a former boyfriend of Trumpy. “She deserved better than that. She really did.”
Affrunti, who shares children with Trumpy, says the past few days have been overwhelmingly difficult.
“I think that’s probably the hardest part: not knowing,” said Affrunti.
The family says the last time anyone spoke to her was on Tuesday evening. They received a phone call when Melissa did not show up for work on Wednesday morning."
