Investigators are sending dive teams into a lake on the southwest side of Greeley in what they are calling a vital search area as they look for a 12-year-old girl who has been missing for nearly a week.
Kayleah Wilson was last seen last Sunday at about 3:40 p.m. when she left her home to walk to a friend's birthday party across a busy highway about a mile from her home.
Saturday, the Weld County posse, a group of officers on horses, was used to search a large area near the Homestead Lakes area in Greeley.
Crews also started looking in a lake with dive teams on Saturday afternoon, saying it was an important part of the search for the sixth grader. Firefighters with the Union Colony Fire Department were at the lake with the FBI.
More than 600 motorists passing near the area Friday were stopped by Greeley Police and asked if they had seen anything Sunday night.
Greeley Police Sgt. Joe Tymkowych says authorities have gone to Kayleah's favorite hangouts, searched along the highway, interviewed friends, family, and acquaintances, and have contacted registered sexual offenders who live nearby.
Both Greeley Police and the FBI have repeatedly made pleas to the public for any information on her whereabouts.
They say they do have some leads, but cannot comment on them.
