Possible Break In Search For Missing Chicago Man?

Searchers may have gotten a break in the search for a Chicago man missing in Costa Rica. David Gimelfarb, 28, has been missing for almost a month but a new aerial photo shows what may be a body inside a volcano crater, prompting the Red Cross to initiate an investigation. But it has to be taken with a grain of salt: the photo is hardly conclusive, showing just a smudge on an otherwise barren landscape and it's hardly even close to showing a positive identification of the body. Still, it's a lead that searchers deem worth pursuing. [WBBM]
