Minot, N.D. (AP) _ It's been more than a month since three-year-old Reachelle Smith was last seen. And Minot Police say leads have virtually dried up.

Authorities say hundreds of searchers have gone over thousands of acres of land
and water but there's still no sign of Reachelle.

The man believed to have taken her 22-year-old Leigh Cowen was found dead in a van at the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge late last month, and police say he killed himself.

Police Detective Dan Strandberg says no new leads have come in for several days. He says the hope that the girl will be found alive is starting to fade.
