Search Continues For Susan Brady
Rockford Illinois police and volunteers extend a wide search for 11 year old Susan Brady missing since December 20. A scarf found by a mailman proved a false lead while a small blood trace prompts lab analysis as 1 000 searchers with bloodhounds and aircraft scour rural Argyle area and nearby counties. Father James Brady suspects an automobile abduction and asks for tips across five states as the family awaits Christmas without Susan.
