NEWPORT, Maine (AP) – Maine state police say there has been no confirmed sighting of a man wanted for questioning in the killing of his father as a manhunt continued Wednesday.

On Tuesday, officers searched woods and cabins in Newport as three aircraft – one from the state police and two from the border patrol – flew overhead. But there was no sign of 45-year-old Perley Goodrich Jr.

Maine Public Safety Department spokesman Steve McCausland said Wednesday that police were continuing extra patrols, but there was no aircraft and fewer searchers.

Goodrich’s 76-year-old father, Perley Goodrich Sr., was shot to death and 64-year-old Sandra Goodrich was severely beaten Monday night. McCausland says the younger Goodrich was last seen leaving the home that evening.
