Authorities searched with an estimated 200 volunteers until 3 a.m. Sunday morning and resumed again at 6 a.m. State police used dogs and a helicopter to comb a wooded area near the carnival and divers searched a nearby lake.

On Monday the search was upgraded to a national manhunt as the FBI was called in to help. Photographs of the boy were faxed to police statewide and posters bearing the boy's photo have been placed as far away as Atlantic City and Brooklyn, New York, by commuters who live in the area.

Ronald Reagan had signed a law declaring May 25 National Missing Children's Day, in rememberance of Patz, who was 6 years old when he was allegedly abducted near his parents' Greenwich Village apartment.

Authorities have made no arrests and the Sheriffs Department in Linn County, Iowa, said they are satisfied the father was in Iowa the night the boy disappeared.
