SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – The latest on the search for NFL quarterback Jay Cutler’ brother-in-law, whose car was found abandoned Nov. 27 in a desolate stretch of southern Utah (all times local):

11:30 a.m.

A team of 30 officers with dogs has resumed searching the vast desert area where the car of NFL quarterback Jay Cutler’s brother-in-law was found abandoned 12 days ago.

Grand County Sheriff Steven White said Tuesday authorities still don’t know where Michael Cavallari was headed or what he was doing in southern Utah. He says investigators are considering all possibilities, including that Cavallari doesn’t want to be found.

That’s on their radar because Cavallari was arrested in California on an allegation of making threats four days before his car was discovered. White says two deputies have gone to California to gather more information.
