SCOTLAND COUNTY, N.C. (WMBF) – Thousands of man hours and dollars have been put into the search for a missing Laurinburg woman, but one agency is scaling back its efforts.

Scotland County Sheriff Ralph Kersey announced on Wednesday that the search for Brenda Covington has been scaled back to a missing person operation. It means that the sheriff’s office will investigate all leads and clues, but won’t have an active search team looking for her.
