Search Resumes for Woman Missing after Fatal Crash
OTTAWA, Ill. (AP) -- Volunteers are expanding their search in rural LaSalle County for a woman who vanished after a car crash that killed her husband.

Forty year old Tanya Shannon of Ransom was believed to be riding with her husband when their car crashed about 6 miles from their home shortly after they left a holiday party in nearby Streator. A deputy discovered the one-vehicle wreck around 1:45 a.m. Sunday.

Authorities say 41-year-old Dale Shannon was dead behind the wheel. Footprints in the snow led away from the car, and one of the slippers Tanya Shannon apparently was wearing was found by the road.

Tanya Shannon is described as five foot two, 125 pounds, with shoulder length strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. She was last seen wearing a red dress and a gray hooded jacket.
