Mont. teacher goes missing

Search teams were expected to fan out again on Monday in the search for a high school math teacher in Sidney, Mont., who didn’t return from a run.

43-year-old Sherry Arnold was last seen at 6:30 a.m. Saturday.

More than 200 people participated in an initial search Saturday that yielded a shoe believed to belong to Arnold near one of her regular routes.

An assistant police chief said Arnold was classified as missing on Sunday, when nearly 1,000 people turned out for a new search. Authorities limited the number to a more manageable 300.

Bryan Prevost was one of the searchers, using his own plane to look from the air, but to no avail.

“It kind of makes you sick to your stomach that somebody was out jogging, minding their own business, and something or somebody or whoever had to do this to an innocent person,” NBC affiliate KULR TV quoted him as saying. “It’s just not right. And a small town like this, it just (doesn’t) happen. And so everybody’s really pulling together, and they’re trying to make the best of a bad situation.”

In addition to law enforcement officers and National Guard troops, a helicopter, several airplanes and three dog teams are also taking part in the search.
