Police continue their search around Guelph, Ont., looking for the remains of Victoria Stafford.

Searchers have concentrated on the area since last week's arrest of two people charged with abducting and murdering the eight-year-old girl.

One of the accused, Terri-Lynne McClintic, was involved in the search for several days.

Although police have not been successful yet, Const. Laurie Ann Matiland of the Oxford Community Police said the search will continue until the remains are found.

"[Police investigators] continue to receive tips and leads and they investigate every single one and they follow the evidence wherever it takes them. And the investigation is still going strong — and they're going to locate Victoria Stafford. The investigation is full throttle," she said.

Police have searched Guelph Lake using sonar technology. They've also used canine units to help in the search.

Victoria Stafford was abducted from outside her school in Woodstock on April 8.

Michael Rafferty, 28, and McClintic, 18, are charged with abduction and murder.
