David's and its coastline in the hopes of finding four-year-old Chaona Woolridge, who went missing last Sunday morning.

The search has only turned up a pair of black shoes believed to belong to Chaona. They were found near the waters off Cove Valley.

A Police spokesman said last night that several leads had been checked out over the weekend, but all proved negative.

One of those leads, the spokesman said, included a reported sighting of a pink dress by the water.

Chaona, who has Down's syndrome, was last seen by her parents wearing a light pink dress.
