(UPDATE, 5:30 p.m.) The search effort for Arden Pepion has now shifted to a recovery mission. The decision was made at about 2 p.m. on Saturday, according to Blackfeet spokesman James McNeely.
Search officials said that based on the elements and duration of time that has passed since she was last seen, we have come to realize that it is now a recovery.
McNeeley said that at about 7 a.m. on Sunday, weather permitting, the Two Medicine River in the area of the search will be diverted into a drainage ditch to lower the water level to make the search easier.
