Durivage said officers combed the area earlier in the day with search dogs and a helicopter.

They expanded their search area and tried to map out alternative routes she could have taken, Durivage said.

"I call it perseverance by law enforcement," he said. "Cross your 't's' and dot your 'i's" and then go back and do it again."
