ELY, Nevada — West Valley police searched six abandoned mine shafts Friday morning before moving on to another area to search additional mine shafts in the case of missing Utah mother Susan Cox Powell.
"I'm anticipating a very long, hot day today and possibly a long hot day tomorrow," West Valley Police Sgt. Mike Powell said, referring to numerous searches that detectives plan to conduct in the remote outskirts of Ely.
Police released few details at a Friday morning news conference about why they were in Nevada, but the sergeant later explained that new information from a search warrant in the Susan Powell case prompted them to head to the Silver state.
"We were able to obtain information from a prior search warrant," Mike Powell said. He would not specify when or where the warrant was served or whether the information was a result from crime lab tests. At one point, he said the warrant was served during "the initial part of the investigation" and said the information received was "fairly recent."
