CENTRAL OHIO Police treat missing girl case as kidnapping



The police chief said no one has been ruled out as a suspect.
COLUMBUS (AP) -- Suburban Madison Township police said they were treating the disappearance of 5-year-old girl as a kidnapping after two days of searching with dogs and a helicopter failed to turn up any trace of her.
Emily Rimel vanished from her bed in her apartment early Tuesday.
Her mother's boyfriend, Brent Copley, said he put the child to bed at 12:30 a.m. and she was gone when her mother, Jane, checked on her when she returned home from her overnight job.
Investigation
Madison Township police said Copley had undergone polygraph and voice-stress testing since the disappearance.
Authorities armed with search warrants took a mattress, cushions, sheets and towels from the apartment on Wednesday.
Warrants to search the car of Copley's friend, Lindsey Bruce, who had stayed at the apartment from Monday night until early Tuesday, and other undisclosed locations also were filed.
Madison Township Police Chief Greg Ryan said no one has been ruled out as a suspect, nor has any motive been determined.
