Mississippi River but none have yielded substantial information.

spoken with most of the boat owners in the area but no leads have
emerged.

with the baby with hopes someone will recognize them. The items
included two 4-inch porcelain bells that depict angels, two 9-inch
angel figurines and a bracelet with an eye pendant.
