Watch above: Mark Carcasole reports on the renewed search for Nicole Morin.
TORONTO – The two-day search of a rural area north of Toronto for any sign of a girl last seen 29 years ago turned up nothing Thursday.
Police began scouring the Springwater Township area Wednesday to follow a tip that came after they released a video re-enactment in July of Nicole Morin’s disappearance.
Dozens of officers and support staff took part in the search of a rural area near Horseshoe Valley Road in Springwater Township. Police spent part of the day scanning the wooded area with a ground penetrating radar device.
And at one point two police officers entered the woods with shovels.
But at the end of the day, police announced they found no conclusive evidence that Morin was ever in the area.
Nicole was eight when she vanished on the morning of July 30th, 1985.
Police say she left her family’s apartment in a west-end Toronto building with plans to meet a friend in the lobby to go swimming and was never seen again.
WATCH: Toronto Police Service has released a re-enactment video related to the ongoing investigation of the 1985 abduction of Nicole Morin.
The ensuing search has been one of the largest and longest investigations ever done by Toronto police, who said they have been receiving tips regularly for three decades.
Police, who still regard the disappearance as a missing-person’s case, have never arrested anyone in the case and have ruled out any family involvement.
