Nearly a week into the manhunt for triple-homicide suspect Shane Franklin Miller and still no sign of him since his gold Dodge pickup was spotted near the mouth of the Mattole last Wednesday. There are now more than 70 law enforcement officers searching the Mattole Valley, the King Range Conservation area and nearby communities. They're pulling out all the stops — conducting roadblocks, going door-to-door, interviewing Miller's relatives and flying choppers overhead. They've even brought in cadaver dogs.

To recap, Miller is suspected of killing his wife and two children on May 7 in Shingletown, a small Shasta County community. According to a guest post on the Lost Coast Outpost, Miller left a note in his truck expressing anger at family members.
A community meeting will be held at the Honeydew School tomorrow at 5 p.m.
