"If someone calls us, we check it out immediately," Dunn said.
He said on Friday that members of the Knox County Rescue Squad were bringing underwater sonar equipment to Newport to help with the search, but emphasized it was not being used to follow up a specific lead.
"We've got to do it all. It takes time," Dunn said of the search for potential locations of Maxwell.
Search parties of volunteers from the community have daily formed beside the Dollar General store on West Highway 25/70 and gone out to look for clues to Maxwell's whereabouts in several areas, so far without success.
Maxwell's 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse was found burned the morning she disappeared.
Maxwell is described as being 5-feet, 6-inches tall and weighing approximately 115 pounds. She was last seen wearing a blue sweatshirt and blue jeans. The jeans had large holes in the fabric.
Anyone with information as to Maxwell's whereabouts, or as to the events leading to the fire that destroyed her vehicle, is asked to call the Newport Police Department at 423-623-5556 ext. 105 or the office of District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn at 423-623-1285.
A missing person/runaway report filed Monday, April 27, said Megan Maxwell's mother, Lisa Maxwell, reported her daughter had been missing since 4:27 a.m. on Sunday, April 26.
