More than 100 police and fire personnel combed a wooded area near the El Sereno Recreation Center on Tuesday morning for signs of a teenage girl that witnesses said was taken "kicking and screaming" by a male suspect, Los Angeles Police officials said.
The girl, believed to be between 13 and 15, was dragged away by a man believed to be between 18 and 21 some time around 8 p.m. Monday near the center located at 4721 Klamath St., police said.
During the initial search Monday, investigators found leggings and a pair of Puma tennis shoes, although it was not immediately clear whether the clothes belonged to the victim. The search was suspended around 11:30 p.m. due to darkness.
Early Tuesday morning, police resumed the search using dogs and mounted units, with the help of city and county fire personnel.
