No evidence of foul play 'to date' in missing-girl case

CRANSTON -- Local police said late this afternoon there is no evidence of foul play "to date" in the case of 11-year-old Shai Ramsdell, who was found wandering near the Providence Place mall yesterday 24 hours after she was reported missing.

The Police Department is continuing its investigation, according to the brief statement, and has been joined by the state Department of Children, Youth and Families.

Police offered no new information as to the girl's whereabouts between 7:30 a.m. Monday until Tuesday evening at about 6:45 p.m. The report that she was missing prompted a massive search that included local residents and various law enforcement agencies, including the FBI.

"The Cranston Police Department and DCYF will continue to monitor this case," the statement concluded.
