FLOYD As the search continued Monday for 5-year-old Evelyn Miller of rural Floyd, the criminal investigation into the case appeared to be heating up.
Authorities executed a search warrant at 311½ 9th Ave. in Charles City Monday afternoon.
Floyd County Sheriff Rick Lynch said three people live at that residence Randy Patrie, Dan Slick and Marge Maser.Lynch said Patrie and Slick were apparently the last people to see Evelyn just a few hours before her mother, Noel Miller, discovered she was missing early Friday morning.
The two men are friends of Miller's fiance, Casey Frederiksen, according to Lynch, and said they saw Evelyn asleep on a love seat in the family's apartment when they stopped by to visit Frederiksen at 2 or 2:30 a.m. Friday.
Both men have been interviewed by law enforcement officials. Neither had been taken into custody as of late Monday evening.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that authorities said Frederiksen, 26, passed a lie-detector test after he was questioned for about four hours.
Lynch wouldn't say what the search warrant for the Charles City residence was for or what was found, although investigators could be seen removing several brown bags and a plastic garbage bag of items from the home.
"That's just part of our investigation," Lynch said.
A car also was searched at the Floyd County Courthouse on Monday as part of the investigation, Lynch said. However, he declined to give details about the owner of the vehicle, where it came from or what was found.
Evelyn was not in her family's apartment about two miles south of Floyd on Quarry Road (county road T44) when her mother returned home from her job at the Nora Springs Care Center at about 6:20 a.m. Friday.
Frederiksen has stated he and Miller's two other children, Gabriel, 2, and Damian, 1, were asleep in the apartment when Miller returned home and discovered her daughter was missing.
More than 200 volunteers continued to search for the girl on Monday.
The search has expanded from the 5-mile radius previously established around the apartment complex.
"They are pushing out farther and farther," Lynch said.
Foot patrol, ATVs, horses, kayaks and boats were used again to search ditches, bridges, waterways and fields.
Lynch said the number of searchers was down from the more than 300 people who combed the area Sunday, possibly due to the Fourth of July holiday and fatigue.
"I think people are getting tired," Lynch said.
The last search team for the day went out at 2 p.m. Monday. Lynch said the search would resume at 7:30 a.m. today.
Volunteers who want to join the search are asked to come to the Floyd Community Center. They must be at least 18 years old, have photo identification and wear a brightly colored shirt.
Lynch didn't know how long the search would continue.
"It's really not something you can plan," he said. "It's minute by minute."
But he said the search would continue today even if only 50 volunteers show up.
The FBI, the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are assisting with the case, Lynch said.
Candy Peck of Charles City, a friend of the Miller family, said her daughter used to babysit Evelyn.
The little girl was swinging in Peck's hammock swing the evening before she became missing.
"I can't imagine what she (Noel) is going through," Peck said.
Anyone who has any information about the case should contact the Floyd County Sheriff's Department at (641) 228-1821.
Lynch said people should be sure they have specific information before they call because resources are limited and each tip can take half an hour to an hour to verify.
