As officials continue to search for a 9-month-old boy who went missing during last weekend's deadly flood in Bucks County, loved ones and community members gathered Sunday night to honor the victims. LeahUko has the story:

Hundreds of people including search and rescue teams, marine units and police and fire personnel have scoured the area with the aid of"K-9s, sonar, drones, boats, divers, heavy equipment, GPS mapping and air units," police said, adding that they were now at the point that “our search will be dependent upon the conditions of the river.”

“We have no words to describe how we are feeling except truly heartbroken. But, the pain we feel is nowhere near what these families have been through,” the police statement said, vowing to the missing boy “we will never stop until we can bring you home." The family from Charleston, South Carolina, was visiting relatives and friends in the area and were on their way to a barbecue on the evening of July 15 when their vehicle was hit by a “wall of water” from Houghs Creek, according to Upper Makefield Fire Chief Tim Brewer.

The bodies of Enzo and Linda De Piero, Love and Barnhart were also recovered in Upper Makefield following the flood last weekend.
