Update: Standoff In The Ozarks

Just three officers are remaining in Alread,
the site of a week-long search for two fugitives in the densely
wooded Ozark Mountains.
The search for 49-year-old Mark Holsombach and 28-year-old
William Frazier began eight days ago after a shootout with police
at the men`s homemade log cabin near Alread. Police initially
wanted the men for questioning in the disappearance of their
neighbors.
Van Buren County Sheriff Scott Bradley said police don`t know if
the men are still in the county or if they`ve left. Bradley said he
feels there`s a 70 percent chance the fugitives are still there.
Two deputies remained in Alread today at a command post set up
after the search, and a third deputy was stationed at the school.
Classes resumed today after being canceled last week.
