ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - After a full week of searching, investigators say they still haven't found the body of the sixth person who's believed to have died in a fire in an Annapolis-area mansion.

The Anne Arundel County fire department said Sunday afternoon that search efforts have concluded for the day and crews have yet to find the missing victim.

The 16,000-square-foot mansion caught fire early on the morning of Jan. 19. It was owned by Don and Sandra Pyle. Relatives have said they believe the Pyles and their four young grandchildren died in the blaze.

Fire officials say they expect to continue searching the site for several more days.
