GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- Michael Blagg said he is still holding out hope for the return of his wife and 6-year-old daughter who disappeared three weeks ago.

Blagg has begun searching for a new home large enough for three people.

His wife, Jennifer Blagg, 34, and their 6-year-old daughter, Abby, were reported missing Nov. 13 after Michael Blagg returned home from work to find an empty house and a pool of blood in the master bedroom.

Blagg said he can't live in the house anymore, "and I don't believe Jennifer and Abby would want to live there again."

The pool of blood is the only real clue for authorities, who have said it indicates one or both of them is dead. Investigators are still waiting for the results of tests on the blood and other evidence by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

Investigators said that once the DNA testing returns from the CBI it will not be shared with the media or even the Blagg family to protect the case.

Members of the family's church are hopeful.

"We pray in the present tense for Jennifer and Abby wherever they are," said New Hope Fellowship Pastor Art Blankenship. "We pray for that miracle breakthrough that will cause this case to come to resolution."

The church has collected more than $3,000 for a fund seeking information about the mother's and daughter's whereabouts. They have spent days scouring the banks of the Colorado River near the Blagg home (pictured, right), where investigators searched with dogs, in boats and on horseback.

They have found no sign of the stay-at-home mother and the Blaggs' only child.

Seven Grand Junction Police Department investigators assisting the Mesa County Sheriff's Office have been taken off the case. Sheriff's investigators plan to travel to Arizona, California, South Carolina and Texas to interview the Blaggs' former neighbors, friends and relatives.

Authorities have said they don't believe a stranger is responsible for Jennifer's and Abby's disappearance. They have also said no person has been ruled out as a suspect.

Michael Blagg steadfastly maintains that he did not have anything to do with the disappearance of his wife and daughter.

When he is not packing up his family's belongings and searching for a new home, Blagg is making and distributing purple-ribboned pins that read "Hope -- Jennifer and Abby."
