Ineel Camera Used To Search For Girl

Custer County Sheriff Mick Roskelley has not given up on a 9-year-old girl who disappeared in 1993, enlisting the high-tech help of the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory.

The lab Thursday supplied an underwater camera to search a 990-foot shaft at the Clayton Silver Mine. The search turned up no trace of the girl.

Stephanie Crane was last seen Oct. 11, 1993, walking home from the Challis bowling alley.

Roskelley said his department received a call that the girl’s body could be in the mine shaft. Search dogs from Kentucky and Wyoming were brought in, and gave positive reactions to the water draining from the shaft.

That was when the camera was brought in.

“This case is still ongoing and will be until we get it solved,” Roskelley said.
