Police in Westmoreland County are doing their most thorough search yet as they try to find a body that was reported in Brush Creek over the weekend.
Thursday’s mild weather and a lower water level in the creek is helping searchers as they have been looking for the body since Saturday.

Police believe the sighting of the body was credible and so they have a lot of manpower behind the search today including boats, ATVs and a state police helicopter.
Brush creek runs for several miles but we know searchers or focus on an area that’s about 1,500 square feet.
The woods the searchers are in are incredibly dense, and it’s almost impossible to see the search teams on the ground.
