AARON BROWN, CNN ANCHOR: Three days after her disappearance, there are still very few clues about what happened to nine-year old Jennifer Short. She's been missing since Thursday, when her parents were found shot to death in their southwestern Virginia home. Police say they had made very little progress in these past three days. Here's CNN's Jeanne Meserve.</s>JEANNE MESERVE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The word from Sheriff Cassell Sunday afternoon more of the same. No sightings, no suspects, no promising leads in the disappearance of Jennifer Short and the murder of her parents. (voice-over): Scent dogs were used at the Short home on Sunday. They tracked Jennifer's scent to a nearby convenience store and motel. She went to the store frequently. And the sheriff didn't put too much significance on the dog's finding the scent there or at the motel, which is next door.</s>SHERIFF H.F. CASSELL, HENRY COUNTY VIRGINIA: The scent will flow through the air. And whatever it hits, like a wall or a fence row or a hedge, it will kind of lodge there. So there's nothing too unusual about the motel in that respect.</s>MESERVE: Investigators also collected additional evidence at the Short home Sunday. No word on what it was or how significant that might be. We also saw plastic being put on some of the windows. The sheriff said that was to allow the use of Luminol, which detects blood under fluorescent light. The passing of time, always a concern. Now growing more acute.</s>CASSELL: The longer a case like this goes unsolved, the missing child is more desperate as far as the child's safety's concerned. As far as running out of time, we will follow this case until we solve it. I just hope that some time for the child.</s>MESERVE: Calls, some of them from psychics, continue to come in. None of them have panned out. With the search now suspended, investigators are spending their time developing leads, following leads, eliminating leads, hoping to crack this confounding case.
