PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A spokeswoman for the Multnomah County sheriff’s office says a second straight weekend of searching on a Portland island turned up junk piles and deer bones.

But Lt. Mary Lindstrand says she knows of nothing new in the search for the boy who disappeared last June from his school.

Sauvie Island has been the focal point in the renewed search for Kyron Horman. Lindstrand said Monday no decision has been made yet whether the volunteer searchers would return again this weekend as part of the ongoing investigation.

Much of the island on the Columbia River is a wildlife refuge. It’s about 15 miles north of Skyline School where Kyron attended second grade.
