Despite a diligent search effort by family and friends, 52-year-old Pam Biggers is still missing. One week later, they're now returning home to Alabama in hopes that Pam might turn up there.
"I hope no one else has to go through this, losing a person and having no clue where they are. It's tough to leave. It's just tough," said Don Biggers, Pam's husband.
The family has posted fliers all over Bay County, asking for information on Pam's disappearance. They've also made t-shirts with Pam's picture and information.
So far no leads have panned out, but they say they're trying to stay optimistic.
"Hopeful I guess. Determined. Hopeful and determined would be a good word to use. I just hope we find her safe," said Zachary Biggers, Pam's son.
Though they're leaving Bay County, family members say the search is not nearly over.
"We're not giving up on the search at all. This is just we're expanding. You can't concentrate all of your energy in one area when it's already been covered. You have to expand. That's all we're going," said Jacob Biggers, Pam's son.
The family says they're going to stay in close contact with sheriff's investigators while they continue their search outside of Bay County.
The Biggers family sends their thanks to everyone in Bay County that has helped them out, not only in the search, but with fliers, food, hotel rooms and more.
