SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. -

South Burlington police are looking for a missing homeless man, including an extensive search of a quarry area behind the Champlain Water District on Queen City Park Road.

Police say Arthur Perham has not been seen for several weeks and that, combined with a report of a body on a frozen-over culvert, led police to conduct the ground search. But they found no signs of a body and no clues about Perham.
