Original Toronto Star caption: Search for boy goes underground, Andy Try, 14, and Peter Ostrowskie, 12, beam a flashlight down a side tunnel inside the network of storm sewers in Rexdale where some people believe missing 9-year-old Simon Wilson may be hiding. Two men from the Etobicoke Works Department sloshed through the maze of tunnels last night in hopes of locating the boy, who has been missing from his Willowridge Rd. apartment for the past eight days.
