DAYTON — Investigators said Thursday, Sept. 11, that search for Angela Hild's body has been narrowed to northern Kentucky near Interstate 75.

Angela Hild, 37, has been missing since Aug. 21 after she failed to pick her 5-year-old son up from a Riverside elementary school. Police said they are "certain" that Hild was killed by her husband, Michael Hild, 43, soon after she went missing, Lt. John Huber said.

The search has been narrowed after detectives spoke with family and friends of both Angela and Michael Hild, Sgt. Gary White said. He added that detectives have been in contact with law enforcement agencies in Kentucky and they have begun to search for her body.

It was near Erlanger, Ky., where Michael Hild stole Michigan tags off a car and put them on his Chevy Impala. He was not seen again until Saturday, Aug. 23, when he was killed in a gunfight with police in Melbourne, Fla.

Huber said investigators are also trying to develop more details about how and why Michael Hild ended up in Florida. Police believe he robbed a Walgreen's Pharmacy in Orange County, Fla., and he was killed the gun battle that followed a traffic accident.
