MINOT (AP) - Law enforcement officers plan another search Friday for a child who disappeared from her home here about five months ago.
Reachelle Smith was last seen at her Minot home on May 16. Searches involving hundreds of volunteers on foot and on horseback, and the draining of part of a river channel, turned up no trace of the girl. She turned 4 years old in September.
Reachelle was believed to be with Leigh Cowen, 22, who disappeared about the same time. His body was found May 23, in a van in the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge northwest of Minot, and authorities said he apparently killed himself. But they found no trace of Reachelle.
Sheriff's Capt. Todd Keller said authorities plan to look again at that area Friday.
"We are just doing a little bit of follow-up, in the same area that we had searched in the past, " Keller said. "The sheriff suggested that we do search the area again where the vehicle was found and maybe some of those townships that we missed when we had done the large horse search earlier this year."
