Crews have temporarily scaled back the search for a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper missing since August in flooding near Big Lake. The Patrol says digging will resume later this week and will continue until the body of Trooper Fred Guthrie is found. Sergeant Sheldon Lyon says searchers had to change equipment over the weekend, and also that thunderstorms this week could slow the search. The search has focused on a four-acre scour hole.
