R.I. State Police, search parties assist S. Kingstown police in search for Alicia Storti, 21, last seen late Thursday or early Friday.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — The search Monday for missing 21-year-old Alicia Storti by at least two volunteer search parties, South Kingstown and Narragansett police as well as the Rhode Island State Police was unsuccessful, South Kingstown police said Tuesday morning.

At least two volunteer search parties on Monday augmented a police investigation into the disappearance of Storti, 21, who was last seen late Thursday or early Friday.

The young woman is one of three children of Peter and Elizabeth Storti, owners of the Avery-Storti Funeral Home in Wakefield. The family lives on Bittersweet Farm Way, an area of large homes off Tuckertown Road.

South Kingstown Police Capt. Joel Ewing-Chow said in a news release Monday afternoon that South Kingstown and Narragansett Police had searched places that the young woman frequented, and that the police "have not received any credible information or evidence that would lead us to search any specific areas that we have not already checked."

The Rhode Island State Police sent K-9 teams and troopers to assist, State Police Maj. Joseph F. Philbin said Monday afternoon.

One group of volunteers met early Monday in the parking lot of New Life Assembly Church, 251 Post Rd., South Kingstown, and another met at Beach Pond on Route 165 in Exeter, according to widely shared Facebook posts.

Describing Storti as being 5 feet, 2 inches, weighing 105 pounds and having fair skin, straight shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes, Ewing-Chow asked the community "to remain vigilant and report any possible sightings or other information as to her whereabouts" by calling police (401) 783-3321.

A Facebook page, Missing Alicia, created in cooperation with LostNMissing.org, said she might be wearing purple/gray sweatpants. "Alicia was last seen at home before midnight on April 14th and left on foot with nothing but her cellphone, which has been turned off. This is out of her character and family is extremely worried," the page says.

An effort to reach the family through the Avery-Storti Funeral Home was met with the answer that Peter Storti was out indefinitely and did not wish to speak with the media.

Older sister Brittany Storti posted an open letter on her own Facebook page, which says: "Alicia, if somehow you can see this message, just know that our family and friends only want to safely bring you home. We are not mad at you and you aren't in trouble."

In that letter, Brittany told Alicia that she regretted missing Alicia's junior prom. Brittany had been in treatment at the time, according to the letter. When their mother sent Alicia's prom photo to Brittany at the treatment center, she taped it her wall. "And every night, I told your beautiful face that I may not have been there for your junior prom, but I will be there" for the senior prom, wedding "and every day thereafter. You were my motivation to get better."

She concluded: "I love you more then words could ever express. Please, come home."
