Friends and family gathered at Cribbs Field in Verona to hold a prayer vigil Monday night.

Members of the family's church were also there, praying for Nalani to be found.

"I believe other than searching, we should go to Him and ask Him to help lead authorities, to guide them. The family: to comfort them and give them peace during this time," said James Grantz, a member of Nalani's congregation.
