Rescue teams searched on foot and in the air Saturday for two young sisters who wandered away from their rural Humboldt County home Friday.
Family and friends scoured the nearby woods Friday afternoon and then contacted authorities, who searched through the night to no avail.
On Saturday, personnel from several other Northern California counties joined the hunt for the girls. Ten search teams from various agencies combed the rugged, hilly area while the U.S. Coast Guard conducted aerial searches. At an afternoon news conference, sheriff's officials said they had found signs of the girls' path: discarded granola bar wrappers that the children's mother recognized.
