Bucks County landfills searched for Missing John Fiocco
The search continues for John Fiocco, a 19-year-old college freshman who went missing on Saturday. John Fiocco attended an off-campus party with friends on Friday night where they had all been drinking.
Mr. Fiocco, of Mantua Township, attended an off-campus party with friends on Friday night where they had all been drinking, the police said. At about 3 a.m., several of them went to a friend’s room on the fourth floor of Wolfe Hall, a freshman dormitory.
When the others awoke later in the morning, Mr. Fiocco was gone, they told police. The next afternoon, one of his friends called campus police to report him missing.
Police also found traces of blood from in and around a dumpster outside a freshman dormitory at the College of New Jersey.
After finding traces of blood in and near the garbage dumpster outside the dorm, they also sent investigators to the landfills in Pennsylvania, because that is where trash from the college is taken after it is compacted in nearby Trenton.
