McGRADY, N.C. No new clues in the search for a 12-year-old Boy Scout who disappeared in the North Carolina mountains on Saturday.


About 70 searchers will resume the hunt for Michael Auberry today. Dog teams and a plane with heat-sensing equipment searched for him overnight.
Authorities say there's no indication of foul play or that the boy has been abducted.

And they say he probably wouldn't be threatened by wild animals. Their main concern is the weather. Temperatures have dropped as low as the 20s since Michael went missing.


Still, officials say Michael was wearing appropriate clothing for the weather, noting that people have survived longer than a week in the wilderness.
His parents remain "optimistic" that he'll be found alive.
