The search for a missing six-year-old Alberta boy is now in its seventh day, with more than 200 searchers looking for Darius Macdougall in a forested area in the Crowsnest Pass.

"I want to stress that we are not scaling back the search," Alberta RCMP Cpl. Gina Slaney said during a Saturday media availability.

She said 60 officers with the RCMP Tactical Support Group have now joined the investigation, doing a "shoulder-to-shoulder search" to find Macdougall, or any sign of his whereabouts.

"These officers are trained to search for even the smallest piece of evidence," she said. "They're re-searching the area where Darius was last believed to be."
