MONTREAL - The search for a missing nine-year-old Quebec girl resumed today with provincial police leading the way.
Cedrika Provencher disappeared Tuesday from her suburban neighbourhood in Trois-Rivieres, Que., about 140 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
Police are following more than 200 tips from the public. Earlier this week, hundreds of volunteers scoured wooded areas and knocked on doors to look for the girl.
Sgt. Isabelle Gendron says investigators are examining files on known pedophiles who live in the region.
Police are looking for a mystery man who approached at least one local child asking for help to find his lost black and white dog. Cedrika was last seen riding her bike four days ago, asking area residents if they had seen a missing dog.
Police say her disappearance is being treated as a missing person case for the time being.
