Searchers Hunt For Baby In Mountain Borough
In Williamsport Pennsylvania hundreds of searchers comb thick brush and storm sewers seeking an eight month old baby named Joey, last seen near Bald Eagle mountain. Police warn motorists to check any cars with a child, as foul play cannot be ruled out though authorities lean toward possible accidental entrapment or exposure. The child’s father Anthony Prato and residents, including Mrs. Piste, join the nightlong hunt amid near freezing temperatures and a swelled Susquehanna River nearby.
