(CNN) — A hunt for a missing FBI agent stretched into its fifth day Tuesday after an intensive search of rugged terrain near Los Angeles failed to turn up anything.
Special Agent Stephen Ivens appeared to be distraught and may have been suicidal, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said, citing interviews with family members and evidence collected by investigators. She declined to elaborate.
Ivens, who works on counterterrorism cases, was last seen by family Thursday night, a police statement said. His FBI-issued service revolver is also missing, Eimiller said.
