Dyfed-Powys Police halt search for missing April Jones, 5 MOLD, Wales, April 23 (UPI) -- The search for a missing 5-year-old girl who has not been seen for more than six months has been formally suspended, police in Wales said Monday. A man charged with kidnapping April Jones is scheduled to go on trial next week in Mold Crown Court, the Daily Mirror reported. Mark Bridger, 47, was arrested less than a week after April was seen riding her bicycle and then getting into a van Oct. 1. Dyfed-Powys Police had acknowledged for some time April is almost certainly dead. "Since the beginning of October specialist officers from Dyfed-Powys Police along with other forces from across the U.K. have been searching the area in and around Machynlleth for five-year-old April Jones," police said in a statement. The search areas identified during the course of the investigation were completed on Friday April 19.
