ORIGINAL:  The Mohave County Sheriff's Office is investigating the disappearance of a Littlefield couple who haven't been heard from in nearly two weeks.

They say 62-year-old Jerry McFalls and his 62-year-old wife Susan were last heard from on Jan. 11.

Sheriff's detectives have searched the couple's home again Tuesday, looking for any information that would lead them to their whereabouts.
