Search Continues for New Jersey Girl Missing Since 1986



PLEASANTVILLE, NJ (AP)  -- Authorities are entering their third day of digging in a wooded area for the remains of an Atlantic City toddler who went missing 22 years ago.

Police have been digging at a site near the Atlantic City Expressway since Monday, but won't say why.

But the father of Bonita Sanders says prosecutors have told him the girl is dead and that they're searching for her remains.

On Tuesday, police were seen using cadaver dogs, leaf blowers and rakes to aide their search.

The girl was last seen strapped in a stroller on her family's front porch in Atlantic City on Sept. 14, 1986.
