CACHE COUNTY -- A search for Susan Cox Powell set for Saturday, April 10, has been closed to the public.
Scores of volunteers had planned to join in on the search of the Simpson Springs area where Susan's husband Josh said he took the children the night she disappeared in December of last year.
Several law enforcement agencies thought amateur searchers could get lost, fall down a mine shaft or destroy evidence.
The search will now be conducted by trained professionals.
Powell's friends and relatives say they appreciate the support but now agree experts will do a better job.
