We went out todayso we could clear ourmindsand be more observant- Susan Dell

A group of people joined Besser's party near Valley Gardens Community Centre.

Susan Dell, one of Krull's co-workers and friends,said the point of the walk was to help searchers visualize"what might have been going on fourweeks ago" in the neighbourhood.

"I think it's great peopleare still searching becausewe'renotgoing togive up. Thelmawouldn't have given up on any of us," Dell said. "If it had been any other jogger, walker, hiker,she probably would've been the one organizing all the searches.That's the kind of person she was,or is, I should say."

Dell said she has caught herselfusing the past tense when talking about her missing co-worker.

"It's hard not to ... when someone has been gone for fourweeks," said Dell. "We just don't want people to give up....That's why we went out today,so we could clear our minds and be more observant of the traffic and the people [in the area]."

The walk was roughly 3.6 kilometres and took about 40 minutes, Besser said.

Anyone with information about Krull's whereabouts isasked to contact the Winnipeg Police Service Missing Persons Unit at204-986-6250.
