COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Volunteers were set to return to the Rudolf Bennitt Conservation Area in Randolph County to continue searching for a missing 16-year-old on Monday.

Kayla Huff has been missing since Wednesday. Dozens of volunteers have been searching the 3,500-acre conservation area southeast of Higbee on foot and horseback for the past several days. One volunteer also told ABC 17 News that officials were seen searching the air with drones and Bennitt Lake with boats.

Huff was reportedly last seen in her Moberly neighborhood with a 17-year-old boy. The poster describes Huff as 5 feet 7 inches tall with long braided hair.

Randolph County Sheriff's Office also arrested a 17-year-old on Friday in connection with Kayla Huff's disappearance. The sheriff did not disclose the person's gender.

The Sheriff's office did not respond to questions on whether the 17-year-old arrested was the same person last seen with Huff.
