GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO - Investigators on Monday resumed their search for a missing girl at a landfill where her mother's body was found last week. <br>
<br>
Nearly a dozen people endured foul odors, high winds and searing heat as they sifted through tons of garage for 6-year-old Abby Blagg, who disappeared last fall. <br>
<br>
The search was not affected by a 4,500-acre wildfire burning north of Grand Junction, but officials worried wind gusts of up to 25 mph could cut the search short, as it did on Friday. <br>
<br>
Investigators remained hopeful but have found no clues since they identified the body of Abby's mother, Jennifer Blagg, in the dump on Wednesday. Police said she had been shot to death. <br>
<br>
``If Abby is in the landfill and was in that same load of refuse, the bulldozers spread it out over quite a large area,'' said Janet Prell, spokeswoman for the Mesa County sheriff. ``Abby could be quite far from her mother.'' <br>
<br>
Jennifer Blagg, 34, and Abby disappeared Nov. 13 from the family's home in Grand Junction. Michael Blagg told authorities he returned home from work to find a pool of blood in the master bedroom and his wife and daughter gone. <br>
<br>
Blagg was arrested Wednesday at his mother's home in Georgia for investigation of the murder of his wife. An extradition hearing was scheduled for Monday. <br>
<br>
Sheriff Riecke Claussen said trash found near Jennifer Blagg's body came from the manufacturing company where Michael Blagg used to work. <br>
<br>
Authorities said it could take weeks to finish sorting through the 7,000 tons of trash in the search area at the landfill. <br>
