They will also be scouring the streets of Transcona, St. Boniface and downtown Winnipeg.
People will be meeting at the gateway Community Club at 10 a.m. on Thursday.
Winnipeg Police Service Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) unit were searching north of the Perimeter Highway along Henderson Highway for much of Thursday morning and afternoon.
The owner of Robin’s Donuts on Selkirk Avenue told Global News that police looked at surveillance video Wednesday after a customer thought he saw Nemeth Monday morning. He wasn’t seen in the footage.
On Wednesday night, search volunteers focused their efforts in the area near Siloam Mission, Arlington Street and Higgins Avenue.
