STEWARTSTOWN, N.H. — A New Hampshire Fish and Game official says the search for a missing 11-year-old girl is focused on the Connecticut River.

Lt. Douglas Gralenski said Wednesday a boat with an officer and a fishing guide is searching the river about a quarter of a mile from the home of Celina Cass in West Stewartstown.

He says the level of the river was lowered Tuesday to help with the search.

Fish and Game is assisting state police. Gralenski says the search has been scaled back from Tuesday because searchers have no fresh evidence about where to look.

A number of Vermont State Police troopers are in New Hampshire helping with the search.
