Shuttle debris reports spread from Texas to Louisiana searches
Debris sightings from the shuttle spanned Texas and Louisiana as searchers scoured Toledo Bend on the Louisiana border and other sites. Divers were delayed by wind but scheduled to return Monday while an amnesty period drew hundreds of debris reports. Local authorities warned against theft, as two people faced charges for stealing government property amid a large public debris gathering effort. The NASA effort extended toward Fort Worth and beyond with officials relying on radar data and public tips to locate pieces.
