The massive search for a missing Sannich woman today failed to ______ any trace of the 20-year-old student.

The massive search fur a missing Sannich woman today failed to turn up any trace of the 20-year-old University of Victoria student. Marguerite Tellesford disappeared last Sunday shortly after she started out for an early morning run. Police believe she was the victim of foul play. Her ear muffs and a pool of blood were found about a kilometer from her home. Barry Bell has more on the story.
    Hundreds of people turned up after police called for volunteers to comb the wooded parkland of Mount Douglas, north of Victoria, for clues in the suspected murder of Marguerite Tellesford. But four hours of painstaking probing left the searchers empty-handed. Sannich Emergency Program coordinator Lance Olmstead says the effort by the volunteers was remarkable. Absolutely outstanding. We ended up in the end with almost three hundred people in this search. In this area 90% of the ground has been covered at least once. But Mr. Olmstead says searchers found no clues or evidence in what the Sannich police are treating as a murder. The mysterious and violent disappearance of a popular student has aroused the concern of the community as expressed by those who turned up to search. Here’s Victoria writer Eric Wilson, "I feel like everyone else, just wanting to help, I guess it’s the first time I’ve lived somewhere where something like this has happened. I think everyone is very upset by it." Lauren Mallet went to junior high school and university with the missing woman. "Marguerite and I are very close friends and I just wanted to come out because I know that if ! didn’t … this is just going to make me feel better." Other volunteers were Vehna and Wilbur Partmiller. "My husband is 82 and I’m 77. We walk this area all the time, that’s why we were so interested and so worried about her."
    Although the intensive search of the area where Marguerite Tellesford was last seen has officially ended, the police investigation continues, and almost ten thousand dollars in rewards have been posted for information that would lead to an arrest. The police investigation into the Marguerite Tellesford case is continuing. However, the ground search for the woman has been called off.
    The twenty-year-old University of Victoria student disappeared Sunday while jogging in a heavily wooded park area in Sannich.
    Susan MacNamey has more on the story. "Every available person in the Sannich police department is working on this tragic case, but investigators are still baffled about the mysterious disappearance of Marguerite Tellesford. Yesterday more than four hundred volunteers turned up to take part in a massive ground search for the woman. Some of them were friends, neighbors, fellow students；others had never met Marguerite，they just wanted to help out. ”
    And while the search failed to turn up any new evidence，Inspector Jim Arnold says the public response has been overwhelming. "We’re getting all kinds of suggestions and tips from the public and，and，uh，uh，the number of volunteers that showed up is just，…you know，is evident of the support we are getting from the community and the type of information that’s coming forward. ”But so far none of those tips have led to any solid clues. What the police have found are the woman’s ear muffs and a pool of human blood on the jogging trail. But Inspector Arnold says they haven’t been able to match the blood type with that of the woman. "We have Canada Customs，and Immigration，attempting to determine from Port—of-Spain， Trinidad，where the young lady was born，her blood type，but there’s no records of her pre—immigration medical and her doctor’s charts and her dental charts locally and the family can’t tell us what her blood type is. " The reward money in this case has now climbed to over ten thousand dollars.
