"...The part of the landfill they're searching is about 15 feet in depth and 100 yards by twenty yards.
Gesell said crews will search every day for as long they need to and will re-evaluate in a couple weeks. She said chances of finding anything are slim, but they will keep searching.
Searchers are looking for a white blanket they believe the boy was wrapped in."

"Investigators searched a Cheyenne home and found "some biological evidence" from the residence.
Rogers delayed a court appearance so he could take investigators to the boy's body, Gesell said. The location he gave investigators was false. This contributed to delays in searching the landfill.
Between Oct. 30 and 31, investigators received a tip the child was buried under a trailer. Cadaver dogs were brought in and a hit was made on a vehicle and a dumpster the boy could have been dumped in.
Gesell said cadaver dogs cannot be used at the landfill because of the methane gas at the landfill - searchers have to wear protective gear - and because other items, like dead animals or meat, interfere with the scent.
Officials cannot release a cause of death on Silas but say Rogers is not the biological father.
Investigators will interview his mother, but say at this time she is in no condition to speak because she is in the hospital. The reason she is in the hospital was not disclosed."
