CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Authorities are scouring a West Side home in hopes of making a break in a missing persons case dating back to 1995.
FBI spokesperson Special Agent Vicki Anderson said the agency followed a lead to 2610 Vega Avenue, near W. 25th Street and Interstate 90, where authorities say there could be evidence in Adkins' case.
Anderson could not provide details on the type of information that led the FBI to the home.
"Obviously we think it's a little credible to be here," she said. "We'll run down any lead, any tip we get."
Adkins went missing Jan. 11, 1995 when she was 18 years old and five months pregnant. She was last seen on W. 25th Street.
"We never close a missing persons investigation," Anderson said.
Anderson said the FBI's evidence response team, the Violent Crimes Task Force, including Cleveland Police Department, and a cadaver dog from the Geauga County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit responded.
Anderson said a man lives in the home, but is not believed to be involved in Adkins' case. He also was not the source of the information that led investigators to the home.
Adkins' mother, Debbie Marmol, said her relationship to Adkins was more like that between sisters, rather than mother-daughter.
She said she's trying to hold out hope that her daughter and granddaughter could be alive.
"I've still got some hope, yes, but I'm doubtful," she said.
Marmol said she has no connection to the home on Vega, which sits hundreds of feet from Seymour Avenue, where Ariel Castro kept Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight locked up for nearly a decade.
Anderson said this case is "absolutely not related" to Castro.http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2013/08/fbi_police_searching_west_side.html
