Search resumes for missing girl in landfill

GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO - Investigators are continuing search for a missing girl at a landfill where her mother&#39;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 garbage for 6-year-old Abby Blagg, who disappeared last fall. <br> <br> Investigators remain hopeful but have found no clues since they identified the body of Abby&#39;s mother, 34-year-old Jennifer Blagg, in the dump on Wednesday. Police said she had been shot to death. <br> <br> Jennifer Blagg and Abby disappeared November 13 from the family&#39;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&#39;s home in Georgia for investigation of the murder of his wife. <br> <br> Sheriff Riecke Claussen said trash found near Jennifer Blagg&#39;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 seven-thousand tons of trash in the search area at the landfill.
