The family is concerned that the frigid temperatures expected this weekend pose an additional danger for Xiong.
“We’re lost, we’re confused,” said Nischa Xiong, his sister. “You know, we’re scared. We hope that he’s okay.”
Volunteers were given fliers with Xiong’s photo to distribute around Richfield and neighboring communities.
I feel the urge to get out and go help….” said volunteer Chris Axelson. “There’s a lot of parks in Richfield. There’s bodies of water. So, just go check them out and drive around, see if there’s anything unusual.”
