Neadles shocked the community when he announced the rescue effort had been called off two days after the roof-top garage crashed into the mall.
Witnesses have testified about the dangerous state of the building.
However, many residents believed there were still people alive in the rubble and demanded the rescue resume.
The search did continue hours later — after a phone call with the premier.
