It won't be long before men and women will be walking thousands of miles across rural North Dakota.
They'll be out hunting their favorite game.
And investigators trying to figure out what happened to Reachelle Smith of Minot are hoping they'll also be investigators as they criss-cross the state.
Captain Al Hanson of the Minot Police Department says hunters can provide the kind of searching thouroughness that's not possible for authorities.
(Capt. Al Hanson / Minot Police) We'd like to have the hunters when they're out with their bird dogs in upland game hunting or waterfowl hunting or sitting in a tree stand with archery, they're going to over hundreds of thousands of square miles of this state and they know it as well as anybody and most of them hunt the same area year after year. We're just asking for their help. If they come across something that they think, common sense-wise, might be beneficial to our case, we need them to contact us or their local law enforcement.
Reachelle Smith has been missing since mid-May.
Several searches have been performed in the Minot area in hopes of finding out what happened to the three-year-old girl.
Hanson says a search by bloodhounds on Sunday and Monday did not turn up
any significant leads.
