Minot, N.D. (AP) _ Authorities are planning more checks and double-checks as they continue the search for three-year-old Reachelle Smith.

The Minot girl hasn't been seen for two weeks. Police Captain Al Hanson says authorities are trying to in his words think outside the box. That includes possibly searching some storm sewers.

The ongoing search includes areas in the city and out in Ward County.

Authorities had thought Reachelle was with 22-year-old Leigh Cowen, who disappeared about the same time. His body was found May 23rd in a van at a wildlife refuge northwest of Minot, but there was no trace of the girl. Authorities say Cowen apparently killed himself.
