Bud Bottles Eyed In Girl Search

Scores of people searching Friday for a missing 13-year-old girl were also asked to watch for empty bottles of Budweiser or Bud Lite — the type of beer a sex offender allegedly snatched from the girl's home about the time she disappeared.

About 175 law enforcement officials and 200 volunteers have been looking for Sarah Michelle Lunde, including the fathers of two previously slain girls.

Sarah, who has a history of running away, hasn't been seen since Saturday evening, shortly after she returned home from a church trip.

The beer bottles came to attention after Sarah's 17-year-old brother said that David Onstott, a registered sex offender who once dated Sarah's mother, had grabbed a half-empty bottle of beer off her family's kitchen table and left after arriving there unexpectedly before dawn Sunday.

Detectives told the searchers Friday to point out any bottles they find, but not to disturb them.

Onstott, 36, was arrested Tuesday on an unrelated charge. Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee has declined to call him a suspect in the girl's disappearance, but said "he certainly has our attention."

Among those searching for Sarah on Thursday were Mark Lunsford, whose 9-year-old daughter, Jessica, was found dead last month after disappearing from her Citrus County home, and Roy Brown, whose 7-year-old daughter, Amanda, was killed by a convicted child molester in 1997.

"It's kind of like starting over again," Lunsford told CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann. "So, it gives me a second chance
to start hoping some more, because that's what it's all about, hope and faith."

Sarah's mother, appearing exhausted and drawn, said her family was "heartbroken" and asked the community for help.

"We just want to get her home as soon as possible," Kelly May Lunde said.

The girl had spent much of the weekend with the youth group at the nearby First Apostolic Church. She had been going there on her own for about three years, and it became a place where she could find comfort and guidance, church founder Sherry Cook said.

"I'm going to hold out until the last hope is gone," Cook said.
