JOD ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Cape Girardeau Child Missing Since June 13 Still Sought A 3D ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY By a Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo, Sept. 2 After two and a half months Cape Girardeau police are still checking leads in an effort to find Elizabeth Ann (Betsy) Gill, 2 years old, who disappeared irom the front yard of her home. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Harry Gill, and Police Chief I. Beard are convinced that someone took the child and that she is being cared for somewhere. "We can't believe that anyone would want to harm her," her molher said. "We think someone took her because they wanted a little girl." In the week after her disappearance June 13, police and some 300 volunteers searched a square mile around the house. They used an aerial photograph as a guide and looked under every shrub, Chief Beard said.

The Mississippi river is two blocks from the house. Three divers from the Missouri Emergency Corps, St. Louis, searched the waters near the shore and downstream for two days and found nothing. They were Jacu Hite, Albert Aten and Joseph Bergroschtje. Mrs.

Gill said she did no! think Betsy walked to the river and fell in, because the girl never had wandered away from home before. Thomas J. Gearty, special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation at it. Louis, said the bureau had assisted Cape Girardeau police in checking persons outside of Missouri who were known to have been in Cape Girardeau the day Betsy disappeared. "There was no evidence of abduction," Gearty said, "so we could not enter the case on the ground that kidnaping was involved.

But we have assisted the police and will continue to do so." Chief Beard said efforts were Elizabeth Ann Gill being made to trace a group in the area selling purses at the time Betsy disappeared. An out of state automobile was seen near the Gill home that afternoon Circulars are being prepared for wide distribution, Chief Beard saia.
