AFPPolice reinforcements arrived Wednesday to take part in a fresh search of an area in the French Alps where a nine-year-old girl went missing during a family wedding at the weekend. Another 60 police joined teams on the ground searching around the village of Pont-de-Beauvoisin where Maelys de Araujo disappeared at 3:00 am (0100 GMT) on Sunday morning. So far, police have interviewed 140 of the 250 guests at the wedding, with partygoers from two other events in the area also being questioned by investigators. The parents of the girl, who have another daughter and live in a different village close to the border with Switzerland, have been offered counselling by local authorities. Guests at the wedding have described how the party ended with people searching for the girl once her parents realised she had vanished.
