Leanna Warner's family and a private investigator are will search again this week for traces of the five-year-old Chisholm girl who disappeared more than two years ago near her home.
Private investigator Bob Heales was to arrive in Chisholm Monday afternoon to meet with family members before beginning a week long search, said Chris Warner, Leanna's father.
"He called us and said, 'What do you think, should we search some more'," said Warner of a telephone call from Heales. "We said, 'sure'."
Until talking with Heales, Warner said he didn't know for sure what areas would be searched.
Heales, who helped find the bodies of Dru Sjodin and Erika Dalquist, has helped the Warners before. Heales, who has offices in Minneapolis and Denver and a home in Cross Lake, Minn., has been a private investigator for about 26 years.
Family will conduct the search, which will include bloodhounds owned by Denny Adams of Conde, S.D., Warner said.
FBI investigators have not contacted Warner, but have recently been in Chisholm along with Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension officials, Warner said.
He said information from web sites and e-mails point to Duncan having been in the region around the time of Leanna's disappearance.
"We tentatively have him in the area in Grand Rapids and Crosby during the week Leanna disappeared, but not the day" that she disappeared, Warner said. "He has frequented the area."
