Ida rothschild has been missing since yesterday. The girls family was camping at samuel p. Taylor state park when ida vanished just after noon.

If you could just update us on whats taken place so far this morning and what the search plans are for today. Well, as you may know, our search efforts never ceased overnight. We continued to have over 100 personnel actively searching throughout the area out here near samuel p. Taylor state park. This morning were anticipating the arrival of upwards and over 120, maybe up to 160 additional new fresh searchers to join our efforts out here today in searching for ida. Obviously with that number of people were going to be able to expand our efforts even beyond the state park boundaries out here. In addition to that were going to go back and go over some of the locations that weve already hit, but in a situation like this, we dont want to leave any stone unturned. Yeah. We are getting an idea of is t. Video were returning over you right now, shows some of the terrain out there. What are some of the chal lechl you face there . The biggest challenge is samuel p. Taylor state park is known its a dense, thick, wooded redwood grow. There are a lot of nooks and crannies throughout this area where someone might become lost or in this case we just cant see the person. So it takes a lot, a number of searchers to conduct really tight, what we refer to as grid searches, looking behind logs, trees, bushes, thats the greatest difficulty that were running into. The best part about this search is the amount of i want to say cooperation, but so many people are stepping forward in helping in the search effort today. Now, are you is this a search for a lost child or is there the possibility that foul play could be involved in this . Well, its a situation where we hope this is the search for a lost child, as sad as that may be on its own. However, obviously from the onset, unfortunately, not just us here in marin county, but we always look t eight from every angle in case there is something that isnt very clear and apparent to us, you know, good law enforcement, we assume the worse and give our direction by that. Of course, you know, the big focus you see out here is the fact that we have so many searchers who are actively searching the woods and terrain surrounding us. Behind the scenes we called in a team of detectives from the Marin County Sheriffs Office who are working with other state and federal agencies, conducting more of a thorough, deep investigation into the background and the activities of the family before and during and even after the child was reported missing. Obviously were looking into those people who are out here staying in the camp ground at the time and not to label any one of these people as being anything than potential witnesses in our investigation. All right, lieutenant doug pittman from the marin county sheriffs department, saying 120 to 160 fresh searchers will be out there today. Thank you for being with us. Youre welcome. Thank you for your help. All right. In other news this morning, Amtrak Service through richmond is back on schedule after a train slammed into a tractor trailer.
