Also at the campsite were alcohol containers consistant with alcohol containers seen on surveillance tapes being purchased by K. Young at a convenience store at 1:30 pm on Sunday.

SEADOGS and approximately 20 searchers took to ground in the search for K. Young on Sunday. Searchers began anew on Monday and aircraft were notified to keep a lookout for the missing woman.
