Search goes on for missing man

MISSISSIPPI COUNTY, Mo. -- Police, volunteers, friends and family scoured the area of Mississippi County called Thompson Bin Saturday, hoping to find more clues as to the whereabouts of a missing Alto Pass, Ill., man.

Friday, police found Walter Gibbs Sr.'s truck, which had been driven into a ditch off a rural road in a northeastern part of the county. Gibbs, 73, was last seen Dec. 11 while driving to Thebes to visit friends.

Family and friends have been worried about Gibbs because he had begun displaying early signs of Alzheimer's.

The search Saturday began at daylight and ended when rescuers could no longer see. All-terrain vehicles, helicopters and volunteers on foot were all put to use.

Today, search and rescue scent dogs are expected to be brought over from Kentucky.
