Last Wednesday police called Smith in for questioning again. That same day a team searched her home, dusting for fingerprints, exploring a crawl space in the basement and removing several bags from the house.

Says White: "We're going to crawl on our hands and knees, looking for every giraffe, pig, bird, rodent, seed and any other fossil we can find."
