Police say James Jerry Moncada caused this damage while fleeing police Thursday in Ogden. An officer believed he recognized the driver of an SUV and attempted to pull over the vehicle. However, the driver did not stop and drove south down an alley that runs from 28th Street to 29th Street, between Brinker Avenue and Harrison Boulevard. The SUV smashed through a fence about halfway down the alley, drove through the southeast corner of a backyard, smashed through a second wooden fence and wound up in the backyard of a home that is south of the first. The SUV came to a stop right up against the back of a brick house at 2850 Brinker Ave. (MICHAEL McFALL/Standard-Examiner)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City firefighters searched a well behind a vacant home Tuesday in connection with the case of missing baby Lisa Irwin, who was born 11 months ago Tuesday.

After lowering firefighters into the well twice and finding nothing, they requested help draining about 10 feet of water from the well, which authorities described as being 30 to 40 feet deep and about 3 feet wide. Then they lowered a firefighter for the third time, just to make sure no cellphones or other evidence sat at the bottom.

They found nothing, said Capt. Steve Young, a police spokesman.
