Searchers Continue To Hunt For Youngsters In Maine Wilderness
In Millinocket Maine a manhunt for 17 year old Robbie Mott who is diabetic and his 3 year old brother Timmie entered its fifth day with about 180 searchers on the ground. The boys were last seen Friday at Roaring Brook Camp near Mount Katahdin after their parents stayed there a week. Authorities said weather improved from rain to clear cool conditions as teams split to cover seven miles north toward Russell Pond and six miles south. Warden Supervisor Priest noted plans to adjust manpower as needed and a doctor indicated sugar deficiency could allow a diabetic to survive brief periods without insulin.
