COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Police in northern Kentucky say they are searching again for the remains of a missing 17-year-old girl.

Media reports cite police as saying they are searching a cistern in Covington for the remains of Paige Johnson, who was reported missing in September 2010.

Specialized search teams and cadaver dogs were at the scene Saturday morning after police got a tip that the girl's body may have been dumped there.

Police say the search is expected to last much of the day.
