The FBI is working over 58 new tips in the case of two missing Oregon City girls after a segment about the teens aired on Fox TV's "America's Most Wanted" over the weekend.

Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis, both 13, lived in the same apartment complex, attended the same middle school and were on the same dance team.

Among the tips, people called in reporting 39 sightings or information on Ashley and Miranda together, 13 sightings or information on Miranda only and 6 sightings or information on Ashley.

Investigators believe the two were abducted, possibly by the same person.

Ashley has been featured on "America's Most Wanted" five times now, while Miranda's case has been featured three times.

The FBI says it has no new leads on the case, but has not given up.
