\"The family needs answers. We need to find her, our winter is coming,\" added local resident Amy Hugh. \"There's no words to describe how important it is.\"

This call for help comes after an initial search by 100 volunteers on Thursday. It's not clear if any evidence was found in that search.

Investigators believe Jayme is still alive, Fitzgerald told ABC News on Tuesday, and they won’t stop until they bring her home.

\"The hope is what we're riding on,\" he said.

On Monday, Fitzgerald said authorities are looking for two vehicles of interest after cars were spotted near the Closs home around the time of the crime.

One car was likely a red or orange 2000 to 2014 Dodge Challenger, based on surveillance videos from homes and businesses.

The second car was likely a 2006 to 2010 black Ford Edge or a 2004 to 2010 black Acura MDX, Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgerald told ABC News Tuesday that investigators are following up on \"a number\" of tips in response to the vehicle descriptions.

An Amber Alert has been issued for Jayme. Anyone with information is asked to call the 24-hour tip line at 855-744-3879.

Meanwhile, a funeral for the missing girl's parents, Denise and James Closs, will be held Saturday.
