FBI releases details about suspected site in search for kids


Story Tools

(CNN) -- Authorities searching for two missing New Hampshire children were focusing efforts on the 190-mile long strip of Interstate 80 stretching from the Ohio-Indiana border to Joliet, Illinois.

The FBI said investigators were searching for a rural, grassy area that could be located up to 10 miles on either side of Interstate 80. Details about the site the FBI is searching for in the Midwest include:

• Five or six cement cylinders standing on end, approximately 4 feet in diameter and height.

• A 6-foot fence with a rectangular pattern in the immediate area

• A mound of gray or white rocks that would be used in drainage applications.

• An old-fashioned silver and green hand-lever water pump.

• An irregular cement slab, 4 or 5 feet in diameter, on the ground.

• Several large shade trees, similar to willows with limbs extending to the ground.

• A nearby eroding embankment.

• A tan or yellow building within view of the site.

Additionally, Jay Fallon, FBI supervisor in New Hampshire, released the following information about the approach to the site:

• Exit I-80 westbound and make a right turn at the end of the exit onto a two-lane paved roadway, one lane each way. Take another right turn onto another two-lane roadway."

• Fallon said the road may run parallel to I-80 and "has a yellow line down the middle, which may have a dotted yellow line."

• To the right off this roadway is an opening in tall grass. The grass may be 3 to 4 feet tall, green at the bottom, tan or brown at the top, with seeds at the top."

• There is a downhill slope from the roadway, then an uphill slope to the opening in the grass, Fallon said.

• The grass may be "somewhat matted down" from other vehicles traveling through it in the past, Fallon said.
