Seven canine teams to join search for missing persons

RAPID CITY, S.D. – The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office says seven teams from Colorado Forensic Canines and Tri-State Canines are planning a four-day search for two long-missing persons in Pennington County.

Teams from Colorado, Montana and Wyoming arrived on Friday, and will search Saturday through Tuesday. The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office, Pennington County Search and Rescue and Rockerville Volunteer Fire Department will provide some support personnel.

They will be searching for Larry Genlinger and Serenity Dennard.

Genzlinger, 66, from Howard, South Dakota, was last seen Oct. 1, 2019, while elk hunting with his nephew in the area of Sawmill Draw, Six Mile and Ditch Creek Roads.

Serenity Dennard, 9, from Sturgis, South Dakota, was last seen Feb. 3, 2019, after she ran away from the Black Hills Children’s Home in Rockerville.

Because of continued snow cover in the higher elevations, the search for Genzlinger stopped in October and resumed this month when the snow melted. The search for Serenity has continued since she went missing.
