Minot, N.D. (AP) _ The search for three-year-old Reachelle Smith of Minot is now focused on a portion of the Mouse River and the city landfill.

Smith was last seen the night of May 16th.

Crews yesterday sifted through garbage in the landfill and began drawing down the Mouse River channel near the girl's home.

Minot Police Captain Al Hanson says the drawdown of the river's channel around Minot's Oak Park will likely take two days.

A search of a wildlife refuge northwest of Minot earlier this week turned up no
trace of Reachelle.


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.
