UNDATED (AP) It's been more than two months since three-year-old Reachelle Smith disappeared from her Minot home. Massive search efforts have turned up no trace of her.

The girl's aunt and legal guardian, Stephanie Smith, says just"not knowing" is the problem. She still believes Reachelle is alive somewhere.

Her sister Samantha, Reachelle's mother, says she's sure someone out there has "that one tip" that can lead to her daughter.

Reachelle was believed to be with a family friend, Leigh Cowen. He was found dead after an apparent suicide. But there was no sign of Reachelle.

Minot Police are still investigating the case and following up leads as they come in.
