STELLA, Mo. (AP) - The FBI has joined the search for a 9-year-old girl who disappeared from her southwest Missouri home over the weekend.
Authorities today are looking for fourth-grader Rowan Ford of Stella, who was getting ready for bed around 8:30 p.m. Friday when her mother -- Colleen Spears -- left for work at a nearby Wal-Mart.
Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland said the girl's stepfather -- David Spears -- told them that she was asleep when he looked in on her before going out with friends around 10:45 p.m.
The sheriff said today that the FBI is involved in the search.
Copeland said no signs of a crime were found at the home, and nocharges had been filed by last night. The sheriff said investigators "have every reason to believe there is foul play involved."
