Minot, N.D. (AP) _ Minot Police say they're looking to drain part of a river, search a park and check the city landfill as they continue searching for three-year-old Reachelle Smith.

Captain Al Hanson says police are interested in a section of the Souris River close to the girl's house. He also says police continue to check out other leads.

He says a search of Minot's Roosevelt Park is planned this afternoon with volunteers, because Reachelle had gone there occasionally. He says officials also plan to search the city landfill.

A search of the Upper Souris Wildlife Refuge northwest of Minot yesterday turned up no trace of Reachelle, who has been missing since the night of May 16th.

The body of 22-year-old Leigh Cowen was found in a van at the refuge, after an apparent suicide. He was believed to have taken the child.
