GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — National Guard troops searching for a missing North Dakota college student returned to the same snowy fields and roadways Saturday that volunteers had earlier searched, hoping to find some clue to her whereabouts that might have been overlooked.

At the same time, investigators were trying to retrace the steps of a convicted rapist charged with kidnapping the 22-year-old, Dru Sjodin.

Grand Forks County Sheriff Dan Hill has said Sjodin is probably dead — her blood was found in the suspect's car — but there has been no sign of a body. Thousands of volunteers and hundreds of National Guardsmen have searched two states for her.
