THE frantic search for missing Evelyn Mae Boswell continues as police stormed her uncle’s trailer in Tennessee for evidence.
Little Evelyn, who is from Tennessee, has been missing since December and her mom Megan Boswell has since been arrested for lying to police.
Police were seen searching Tommy Boswell Jr’s mobile home on Friday after obtaining a search warrant, News 11 reported.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation conducted their search at the Lakeshore RV Park in Sullivan County but left hours later.
TBI Spokesperson Leslie Earhart told WCYB they were executing a search warrant “as part of an active and ongoing investigation”
Earhart added: “That was not the first search warrant executed in this investigation, and it will probably not be the last.”
Evelyn, who is 15-months-old, vanished late last year, but her disappearance was not reported until February 18 when an Amber Alert was issued.
Police say they have received more than 700 tips since the investigation began.
It comes after police said they could not confirm if Evelyn had been seen with her grandma two weeks ago.
Reports suggested the baby was spotted in a restaurant in the small North Carolina town of Yadkinville.
It was thought to have been seen at a KFC with her grandmother and her boyfriend in the last few weeks, cops and witnesses previously said.
But it turns out those allegations weren’t true as the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed Friday: “There have been no confirmed sightings.
“Investigators continue to track down leads in an effort to find her.”
Grandmother Angela Boswell and her boyfriend William McCloud were placed in custody earlier this month after fleeing to North Carolina.
KFC employee Ashley Hutchens said she was working the front counter when the man, woman and girl came in.
Evelyn’s 18-year-old mother Megan Boswell was arrested this week for lying to investigators.
The Amber Alert was issued after Evelyn was reported missing on February 18, about seven weeks after authorities believe the little girl vanished.
Megan Boswell initially said Evelyn was with her father, who is stationed with the US Army in Louisiana, and later said her mother had taken the little girl to a campground in Mendota, Virginia.
No signs of Evelyn were found at campgrounds in Mendota.
Evelyn’s great-grandfather David Jones said she has not seen her since before Thanksgiving.
Anyone with information in regards to the whereabouts of Evelyn is urged to call 1-800-TBI-FIND.
