Search for missing Sudbury politician moves to Moonglo neighbourhood
It has been 10 days since Sudbury city councillor Michael Vagnini, 62, vanished without a trace and now search efforts are being focused on the Moonglo area of town.
No new information was found during an aerial and ground search over the weekend in the area where he was last, Sudbury police said in an update Tuesday morning.

While there is no specific information to suggest that Vagnini is in the Moonglo area, police said they are deploying 10 people to search the neighbourhood using a drone Tuesday afternoon.
"We are continuously in contact with Sirius XM, cellular companies and banking establishments; however, these investigative tactics have not generated any leads regarding the whereabouts of Michael Vagnini or the black 2021 Ram 1500 truck with Ontario license plate BK22178," Sudbury police said.
"We continue to ask community members to be on the lookout for the vehicle in both public and private parking lots across the city and for residents and business owners to check all outbuildings on your property."

A truck matching the same description was seen on another surveillance video shortly after 5:40 p.m. that evening on RR55 west of Highway 24 travelling east towards Lively.
Police said he could also be outside the area.

There is concern for his health due to some required medication he has now been without for more than a week and a half.
"As a result, he may appear confused and disoriented," police said, stopping short of providing any details on his medical condition.
Correction
Shortly before 2 p.m. Tuesday, Sudbury police issued a correction to the new search area saying it is Moonglo, not Corsi Hill. The article above has been corrected.
