Surrey police scale back search for Heather Thomas
In Surrey British Columbia investigators end the general search for 10 year old Heather Thomas after three days with no trace. RCMP Corporal Janice Armstrong notes the ground search is paused while a new inquiry could resume if new leads emerge. Divers combed two rivers and ponds and a helicopter traced a possible route home to Heather's residence. Police focus on interviewing residents of the father’s complex where Heather was last seen awaiting new tips.
