A new search is planned this weekend for a young Minot girl missing for three months.

The family of Reachelle Smith has asked a team of dog handlers to repeat some searches.

Local law enforcement officials say they have no new leads or information that would make them request such a new search, but they welcome the effort.

Dog handlers from South Dakota and Iowa are expected to be searching for the body of the three-year-old girl tomorrow and Monday.

Reachelle disappeared in mid-May and police issued an Amber Alert for her, believing she may have been abducted by a friend of the family.

Leigh Cowen's body was found in his van.Police ruled his death suicide, searched the area near where his body was found, and have found nothing.

They later called off their search.
