GLOUCESTER — Allison Hammond came to Good Harbor Beach Wednesday morning with an impossible mix of feelings.

After a pair of toddler-size pink capri pants were discovered on this beach last week, she was hopeful that an intensive search Wednesday would yield new insight into what happened to her daughter. Caleigh Harrison, 2, went missing in April during a Rockport beach outing and is believed to have been swept out to sea, though her family has wondered if they will ever really know what happened.
