Nation IN BRIEF : MARYLAND : Colby Searchers Hand Out Fliers

Share
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Authorities searching for former CIA Director William E. Colby tried a new tactic, passing out fliers in his waterfront neighborhood--but found no sign of him after six days. They called off their search in the afternoon and planned to resume today. The hope was that a weekend resident or visitor might have observed something the previous Saturday, when Colby was last seen canoeing in front of his summer home. His canoe was found the next day near the Wicomico River shore, a few hundred yards from his house on Neale Sound. Colby, 76, was presumed dead in a boating accident but his body has not been found.
