LANGLEY, ARKANSAS (AP) -- Another day of searching today as crews try to find one person is still missing after flash floods swept through an Arkansas campsite and killed at least 19 people.

A torrent of water swept through the Albert Pike Recreation Area before dawn three days ago and piles of tangled debris have made some areas tough to reach.

Forest service officials say 50 miles of river and tributaries have been combed at least twice by search crews, some places three or four times.

The last two bodies recovered were found Saturday and Sunday among debris scattered in the heavily wooded terrain along the Little Missouri River.
