0:24.6

a lot of different agencies involved in this search, which is in this field behind me.

There's still some activity. Night is starting to fall, so it is assumed and we're told

0:32.6

they'll probably knock off for the evening, but get started again early tomorrow morning

0:36.6

as they continue looking for the remains of Cynthia Anderson at this location Jerry

And Miss Anderson was last seen on Manhattan Boulevard near the law office, where she actually worked. And Cynthia was only 20 years old
