PAVILLION, WYOMING - Law enforcement officials have started digging behind a Fremont County home looking for clues to the 1980 disappearance of a mother and her two sons.

Virginia Uden and her sons Reagan and Richard have been missing since 1980. Their car was found nearly a month later in a remote canyon with the interior stained with blood. Authorities say they're digging at a residence about 15 miles north of Riverton, near a house that had been owned by the woman's ex-husband.

A professor and several students from the University of Wyoming's Archaeology Department began the excavation on Monday together with law enforcement officers. The team didn't immediately find anything of value.
