More than 10,000 people signed a petition urging Ventura County cops to pick up the search.
Change.org user Memphis Johnston's petition grabbed the attention of 10,000 in less than an hour when it begun circulating online.
The starlet is presumed dead after she vanished without a trace on Lake Piru in Ventura County, California on Wednesday.
Naya's four-year-old son Josey was discovered all alone on the boat around 4pm following his mum's disappearance.
The little boy has been whisked to safety while police continued their search to find his mother.
His haunting words to authorities left a chill.
He said his mother had "jumped into the water but didn't come back up", according to TMZ.
They had only been out on the water for three hours before Josey was found on his own.
Night fell on Wednesday bringing the search team swooping the area to a halt.
They were forced to suspend their operation until Thursday morning.
Helicopters, divers and droves had been out in full force to find the TV sensation.
