WARSAW (AP) -- A west-central Missouri pond is the focus of a continuing search for a woman who has been missing for more than three weeks.

Teams are draining the pond in Benton County this week in search for any clues in the disappearance of 72-year-old Hellen Cook. She was last seen July 13, when she walked away from a vacation home near Warsaw. She suffers from Alzheimer's disease.

The woman's shoes and scarf were found in late July near the pond.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said the pond was already scheduled to be drained this year.
