Floyd Nelson, the father of the NBA Orlando Magic’s guard and former St Josephs 
University star Jameer Nelson, has been missing since Thursday. Floyd Nelson disappeared from his job on the Chester water front on the Delaware River. The 57 year old Nelson was last seen at about 10:30 am. He was supposed to rejoin a painting crew on a barge by noon. Floyd Nelson has not been seen nor heard from.
Authorities said they don’t know for sure if Floyd Nelson fell into the Delaware River but Chester’s police commissioner said a multi-jurisdictional search effort will continue.
According to officials, Nelson disappeared near the waterfront at Front Street and Highland Avenue. Jameer Nelson arrived at the search scene Friday morning as divers, the U.S. Coast Guard and trained dogs continued to look for the missing man
Chester’s lead detective said some of Floyd Nelson’s personal items were found in a barge where he was assisting a painting crew.
“His car is in the lot, keys in the lounge with lunch and medication. He has high blood pressure,” Captain Joseph Massi, of Chester detectives, said. (NBC 10)
UPDATE I: Water search ends for Jameer’s father
After two days of combing the river bottom with divers and grappling hooks, police called off the water search yesterday afternoon and declared Nelson’s disappearance a missing-person’s case.
Divers couldn’t “see their hand in front of their face” as the search for Nelson entered its second day, Massi said. It ended at around 4 p.m. with no evidence indicating that he had fallen into the water while working at Hays Tug & Launch Service.
“We promised the family we would look until there was no reason to look any further, and we’ve reached that,” said Chester Fire Commissioner James Johnson.
“Hopefully, no news is good news,” he said.
If anyone has any information on Floyd “Pete” Nelson’s whereabouts is asked to call Chester detectives at 610-447-7908.

Liza Murphy, 42, has been missing since August 19, 2007. Her husband, Joseph Murphy, told police that his wife left their home after they had an argument on Sunday. Liza Murphy has not been seen from since. Liza Murphy reportedly left with only the clothes she was wearing, no cell phone, no money, no wallet. Authorities were planning to search the Oradell Reservoir in Emerson, NJ.
The case of missing Liza Murphy has become more suspect as Liza’s husband, Joseph Murphy, apparently tried to kill himself by stepping into traffic. Now don’t we all wonder what would cause Mr. Murphy to try an kill himself and then clam up after the failed suicide attempt?
The search for 42-year-old Liza Murphy, of Emerson, took place as Joseph Murphy recovered at Hackensack University Medical Center, a day after authorities say he stepped into traffic in nearby Westwood.
Joseph Murphy suffered a broken pelvis and other injuries after the self-employed painter was hit by a fire department car. He previously stepped in front of a bus and a Lexus before the fire official’s cruiser hit him, Emerson Police Chief Michael Saudino said.
Since the accident, Joseph Murphy has been uncooperative with detectives questioning him at a hospital intensive care unit, Saudino said. (NJ.com)
Search for Emerson mom expands
Authorities grew increasingly pessimistic Friday as they stepped up their search for a missing Emerson mother.
“To be honest, it doesn’t look good at this point,” Emerson Police Chief Michael Saudino said Friday afternoon. “I find it strange that she hasn’t tried to contact her children, let them know that Mom is OK.”

Convicted sex offender, John Steven Burgess, was in a California court to face charges for 
failing to register as a sex offender while he was living in Los Angeles, CA. According to authorities, Burgess is refusing to talk. Why would he? Does anyone think he is going to confess to a murder when all they have him on is drug possession and failing to report as a sex offender? What do police officials think Burgess is going to say, “Oh yea officer, by the way I am guilty of murder as well?” While we are on the subject, LAPD, who is searching for Donna Joe?
While Burgess has not been charged in the disappearance of Donna Jou, 19, a prosecutor said he is considered a suspect in the case. He has also refused to talk to investigators, according to authorities.
Burgess was arrested late last month in Jacksonville, Fla., after police there say they spotted him trying to dispose of a bag of crack cocaine outside a Motel 6. He pleaded guilty to a third-degree felony charge for possession of crack in Florida and waived extradition to California last week, said George Bird Jr., his attorney. (NBC San Diego)

Mindy Schloss, a 52 year old nurse is missing in Anchorage, Alaska. 
She has been missing since Sunday, August 5, 2007 when she missed a flight. Mindy Schloss was a psychiatric nurse who was always punctual for appointments. The nature of her job draws into mind that is it possible a patient may be responsible for her disappearance or was it a random act? Police do suspect foul play.
Description:
- 52-year old white female
- 5-feet, 7-inches tall
- brown hair
- gray-blue eyes
Schloss missed her Sunday flight out of Anchorage and failed to show up for any of her scheduled appointments after that, Shell said.
Schloss is a member of the local Neighborhood Watch in the Raspberry Road area. She drives a 2000 red Acura Integra hatchback, license plate DVP231, which apparently is also missing.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Anchorage Police Department at 786-8500. Or contact Anchorage Crime Stoppers.
UPDATE I: Missing Nurse, Mindy Schloss’ car found
Police in Alaska have located the vehicle of missing Mindy Schloss near the Anchorage airport. The police suspect foul play in her disappearance.
Detectives say that they suspect foul play in the disappearance of an Anchorage woman, now missing for a week. Her car was found yesterday, on Thursday, near the airport and today, on Friday, her friend is speaking out.
Friends of Mindy Schloss say her disappearance is not in her character and believe that something’s gone wrong. Anchorage Police found Schloss’s red Acura Integra near the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. It was parked on Old International Airport road, near the Alaska Airlines Cargo Loading area.
Detectives on this case suspect foul play and are searching her car for clues or anything that might tell them where she is. (ABC Alaska News)
UPDATE II: ATM image may be clue in nurse’s disappearance
Photo courtesy of Anchorage Police Department
Anchorage police want to talk to a man caught on an ATM camera early Sunday morning on the weekend Mindy Schloss vanished.
Police released a photo of the man Monday. They were careful not to call him a suspect and asked the public to help identify him.
Police spokesman Paul Honeman also said investigators plan to widen the search for Schloss to the Seward Highway south of Anchorage near Mile 113, where the body of a 37-year-old man was found alongside the road early on Aug. 14. Police have so far refused to say how the man, Nickline Percy Noatak, died, only that his death is “suspicious.” (Anchorage Daily News)
Police say ATM user connected to missing nurse
In the ATM video, he is wearing a dark blue or black bandana and dark colored jacket. He also is possibly wearing a backpack. Though only partial features of his face can be seen, police hope it’s enough for someone to determine who he is. Police aren’t saying if he was using Schloss’ bank card.
They also suggest he may not be the only person of interest in the case. (KTUU)
