Still looking for missing boy

Montreal police are spending another day searching backyards and going door to door in the search for a 10-year-old boy who has been missing for days.

Police spokeswoman Andree-Anne Picard says officers expect to finish that portion of the search later today.

Ariel Jeffrey Kouakou was last seen on Monday, when he left his home in the city's Ahuntsic-Cartierville district to go to a friend's house.

Authorities say they still don't know exactly what happened to him, but his father has told reporters he's convinced his son was abducted.

On Friday night, several dozen people held a candlelight vigil near the boy's house to express their support to his family.

His parents are pleading for anyone who has information on the disappearance to contact police.
