Minton Search Continues Into Weekend

Before dark on Friday investigators and search teams reportedly found a significant piece to the puzzle of Alicia Minton's disappearance, but we don't know yet what exactly was found. Benton County deputies will not confirm they've found anything, but do say they are still looking for the 29-year-old mother of four, missing since June first. Rogers Police Department released the last known photos of Minton taken by a surveillance camera on the day she disappeared, wearing a red tank top and shorts. KNWA has learned investigators searched around the Two-Ton water intake station on Beaver Lake Saturday, which is still near the Deer Island area they've been searching all week. Now -- Texas EquuSearch-- a non-profit search and rescue organization--that played roles in the search for Natalee Holloway and most recently 18 year old Kelsey Smith ---- is joining in the hunt for Minton. An EquuSearch representative says their volunteers will arrive Sunday with more boats and sonar equipment. The lead that keeps bringing investigators back to the lake involves Minton's ex-boyfriend, Randall Todd Greenway. Police reports show Greenway was arrested a year ago for beating Minton. Friends of Minton have set up a website offering a $1,000 reward for information that helps solve her case. Minton's friends are also working to set up a trust for her family at Arkansas National Bank. If you have any information about this case, you're asked to call the Rogers Police Department.
