Kuznia said he understands the frustration felt by Anderson's family members, and shares it himself. But in recent months, Ander-son's sister, Jackie Pagel, who lives in the Twin Cities, has criticized investigators for not trying hard enough, and not keeping the family up to date on the investigation. Anderson's family cooperated closely with law enforcement in several searches. Many leads were followed in the first month or two, but none panned out. Investigators have said he's not a suspect, nor is anyone else. Her husband notified authorities the next morning that she was missing. Men working on a house next door exchanged a few pleasantries with her as she left and they said she seemed fine. The mystery of Anderson's disappearance - she left behind her purse with seizure medi-cine she needs daily and took no money, apparently - was deepened and worsened by the death of one of Anderson's two sisters a few weeks later in a single-vehicle accident near Thief River Falls.Īnderson's husband was at work when Gina disappeared. The plan is to keep the water level in the reservoir down low for a week, Kuznia said.

"The flow in the river is low now, so increasing the discharge from the dam will not be noticed much down-stream." "We will increase the flow (over the dam) for a couple of days," Rude said. Army Corps of Engineers would have to give permission. When Kuznia came to him with the idea of lowering the reservoir level, Rude told him that the state's Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. The water will be kept high enough to keep the water plant running. That's why lowering the water for a week won't hurt power in town, he said. It's only enough to power maybe 100 homes, and the city gets nearly all its electrical power wheeled in through wholesaler Minnkota Power in Grand Forks from coal-fired plants in western North Dakota, he said. It holds back a reservoir that backs up into the Thief River and keeps the water as deep as 20 feet, providing water and hydroelectric power, spinning - much of the time- two turbines, Rude said. The current dam dates to 1946, downstream a short ways from the earlier dam. The city's had a dam on the downstream leg of the Red Lake River near downtown since the 1880s, said Arlo Rude, director of utilities for the city of 8,300. The Red Lake River flows into the city from the southeast, in the middle of town meets the Thief River which comes down from the north, and then flows back out to the southwest.
