The Salt Creek search for missing IU student Jill Behrman's body has ended due to Friday's severe weather.\nStorms Friday afternoon caused torrential rainfall in the watershed area near Salt Creek, weakening a dam that had been built in the search. Excess rain from Brown County and the surrounding areas flowed into the creek Friday and Saturday, putting pressure on the north dam.\n"The dams, while strong, were never meant to be permanent or leak proof," FBI Agent Gary Dunn said Monday afternoon. "The pressure on the North End caused the dam to leak substantially. We didn't want to take a chance and a decision was made yesterday afternoon to terminate these operations."\nBehrman disappeared while riding her bike in May of 2000.\nCheck tomorrow's Indiana Daily Student for a complete story.
