Dozens of federal, state and local law enforcement are searching by air, land and water for 15-year-old Kathlynn Shepard.
She and a 12-year-old girl were taken near a bus stop in Dayton, about 60 miles north of Des Moines, on Monday afternoon after accepting a ride from a stranger. The younger girl was able to escape.
Authorities say they are broadening their search for the 15-year-old and will put up billboards around the state.
