Dive teams re-scan reservoir for Sierra LaMar

MORGAN HILL, Calif.

Investigators are hoping the new side-scan sonar equipment might uncover new evidence in their kidnapping and murder case. Today's search, however, is not based on any new tips or leads. The 15-year-old Morgan Hill girl disappeared three months ago on her way to school and has not been found. Antolin Garcia-Torres is charged with kidnapping and killing her based on DNA evidence collected so far.

And authorities say a Facebook post supposedly made last night by Sierra LaMar is a hoax. The post contains a Saratoga address, along with the message "please call police he's coming back." The Santa Clara Sheriff's office says the address doesn't exist, it was invented by somebody who hacked the girl's account. This isn't the first time somebody has sent out a fake message from LaMar. Outsiders gained access to her Twitter account twice in April.
