harper The Ford County Sheriff's Office is stepping up their search for a missing Paxton woman. Twenty-year-old Jamie Harper has been missing for more than a month. Wednesday officials in Ford County called in crews from Douglas County to help with the ongoing search. Ford County Sheriff Mark Doran said they called in Douglas County because they have a certified search and rescue squad. The crews are searching a three mile area in the gravel pits just south of Paxton. Sheriff Doran said they've had several tips but no solid leads as to where Harper might be. He said they are covering as much ground as possible and keeping hope alive. "We're still dealing with a missing person, no more no less. It is what it is," said Doran. "Jamie Harper is missing and we're following up on all leads." Sheriff Doran said they will be back in the gravel pits Thursday using sonar equipment. As far as the investigation into her disappearance, he said they, along with Paxton and Rantoul Police, have interviewed several people but there are no solid suspects in the case. Harper was last seen at a party in Rantoul on March 9th.
