The reward for information in the case has increased to $59,850.
The search is centered on a pond just north of Wilkesboro.
Officials also said Megan Boswell, the mother of the missing toddler, continued to provide conflicting reports and that a babysitter had been the only one to provide accurate information in the case.
"Every time we talk to her, her story changes. I'm serious when I say that every single time," said investigator Andrew Seabolt.
Angela Boswell, Evelyn's grandmother was arrested in Wilkes County on Friday after she was found in a BMW that had been reported stolen.
Megan Boswell told officials her mother had taken missing 15-month-old Evelyn Boswell to a campground in Abbingdon, Virginia. Officials there told WVLT News the campground is seasonal and closed on Nov. 1.
The owner of Riverside Campground said the family had never stayed there. According to the owner, most campgrounds in the area are seasonal and only open from April to November. The sheriff's office has not been at the campgrounds for a search, the owner said.
WVLT News Reporter Justin McDuffie continued to check at other campgrounds in the area.
Evelyn's mother, Megan Boswell was arrested Tuesday night.
According to court documents, Sullivan County investigators made contact with Megan Boswell after receiving information about a missing child from the Department of Children Services on Feb. 18.
Megan Boswell reportedly told investigators Evelyn was with the child's father, Ethan Perry. Megan Boswell said she was supposed to meet Perry on Feb. 19 at 4 p.m. at the Ingles parking lot in Colonial Heights to pick up Evelyn.
After further investigation, detectives discovered Perry is actively enlisted in the U.S. Army and is currently stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana, and did not have possession of Evelyn.
Investigators said Megan Boswell faces charges of false reporting to law enforcement in response to a legitimate inquiry.
