Authorities search for evidence in missing persons case

Cleveland Police and FBI agents are digging for a second day today at a site near I-90, searching for evidence in the 2003 disappearance of 16-year-old Amanda Berry. She was last heard from in April of that year when she called her sister to say she was getting a ride home from her job. Authorities are working on a tip from a man imprisoned for a 2007 murder. Cuayhoga County Prosecutors say the inmate indicated someone else was involved in Berry's disappearance. Cleveland Police Commander Thomas McCartney says the search will be slow and thorough.
