[naviga:h3]Search fails to find missing twins[/naviga:h3]

Police say they came up empty in their search of a house for twins who were last seen as children more than a decade ago.

Allegheny County police said Thursday night’s search of a North Braddock house included cadaver dogs, but found nothing. Police didn’t say what prompted the search.

A county detective has testified that he believes twins Ivon and Inisha Fowler are dead. Their mother, Patricia Fowler, is charged in the case.

Police say the twins would be 18 now and haven’t been seen in more than a decade. County social workers raised the question of the twins’ whereabouts over the summer after they removed four other children for medical neglect from Fowler’s home. Police say Fowler has given conflicting statements about the twins’ whereabouts.
