"It looks, at this time ... like there's no chance we're going to find Dru alive," Grand Forks County Sheriff Dan Hill told reporters. "I believe that it is more of a recovery than a rescue at this point in time."

Earlier Tuesday, a source confirmed reports that the knife found in the trunk of Rodriguez's car matched a knife sheath found near Sjodin's car in the parking lot of the Grand Forks shopping mall where she vanished November 22.

Sjodin, of Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, was last heard from while talking to her boyfriend on a cell phone that day after she left her job at a Victoria's Secret store.

Capt. Mike Kirby of the Grand Forks Police Department asked managers of construction and industrial sites Monday to search their properties for "articles of interest, anything suspicious, anything out of the ordinary" and reiterated a plea to landowners to do the same.
