Eight Boy Scouts and three adults from Troop 217 are missing in the in the Great Smoky Mountains near Cruso, N.C. in Haywood County. They failed to return from their weekend trip.
Rescue teams headed into the mountains of North Carolina on Monday in search of eight Boy Scouts and their leaders who failed to return from a camping trip over the weekend.
Several of the troop members had cell phones, but the cell phone service in the area is spotty. Lisa Logan, the mother of one missing Scout, said she suspected the group simply got off scheduled and decided to camp out for one more night.
The search is a precaution, said Charity Sharp, spokeswoman for the Cruso Fire Department.
“There’s eight children up there, so we want to make sure everyone’s OK. There’s a possibility they could be hurt,” she said. Three adults were with the group. (Fox News)
Search Under Way for Missing Raleigh Boy Scout Troop
Lisa Logan, another mother whose son and husband are missing, said the scouts left their planned route through the forest and that she believes the group was running behind and set up camp along the route when it started getting dark.
“I think, more likely than not, they got behind in their schedule, saw they weren’t going to get out by dark, decided it was probably safer for all the boys to just stop, camp and just come out in the morning,” she said. “I feel like that is what they are doing.”

17 year old Ryan Lewis is presumed drown in the Delaware River after he tried to help stranded friends. Approximately 100 rescue workers took part in the search for Ryan Lewis. The search is being called a recovery effort.
Marine search and rescue teams dragged the Delaware River off National Park for most of the day. Four divers were also sent in during low tide.
At 9:00 Wednesday night, friends, whose boat ran around during low tide off what locals call No Name Island, called Lewis. Wanting to help, Lewis went into the river to try to reach the boat. He went under a couple hundred feet off shore near the Red Bank Battlefield in National Park.
His desire to help others may have cost him his life.

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)

Kelly Gorham has been missing since Thursday, August 7, 2007 when she failed to show up at the Maine Medical Center in Portland, ME. Police are calling Kelly Gorham’s disappearance suspicious. 
Description:
- Gorham is 5 feet, 2 inches tall

- blonde hair
- blue eyes
- Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Michael Zabarsky at 657-3030.
Kelly Gorham, missing Alfred woman.A 30-year-old nursing student from Alfred who was last seen eight days ago was responsible and conscientious, making her sudden disappearance particularly alarming, Maine State Police said Wednesday. Kelly Gorham, who lived by herself in an apartment over a garage on Water Street, was last seen by her landlord and another neighbor at about 11 p.m. on Aug. 7, said state police Lt. Brian McDonough. When she didn’t show up for her job as an intern at Maine Medical Center in Portland at 1 p.m. the next day, a co-worker called state police. (Portland Press Herald)
UPDATE I Searchers find ‘evidence,’ but not woman
Search teams on foot and in the air fanned out over 268 square miles Saturday during a full-day search for Kelly Gorham, a nursing student missing for nearly two weeks. But the intensive hunt turned up no sign of Gorham and no immediate breakthrough in the case. Searchers found some undisclosed items in the woods in the vicinity of Gorham’s apartment, but officials downplayed their significance. “We found evidence. They’ll make assessments about what value they’ll have in the investigation,” said Lt. Pat Dorian of the Maine Warden Service. “Obviously, we did not find Kelly and that’s what we were hoping for.”
UPDATE II: Searchers find evidence but student remains missing
Wardens downplayed the significance of items found Saturday in woods in the vicinity of Kelly Gorham’s apartment. The items will be analyzed by detectives. “We found evidence. They’ll make assessments about what value they’ll have in the investigation,” said Lt. Pat Dorian of the Maine Warden Service. So far, state police detectives have conducted about 75 interviews and processed several cars in connection with the case. Investigators believe someone knows about her location, said Maine State Police Lt. Brian McDonough. On Friday, Gorham’s mother and authorities appealed for help. “All of you people, please, dig down deep to that goodness and if you know anything, pick up the phone. Help us find our Kelly,” Pauline Gorham said.
UPDATE III: Kelly Gorham Found Deceased in Northern New Hampshire
The body of Kelly Gorham was found in Stewartstown, NH. She was buried on land that belonged to her ex-fiance’s family in northern New Hampshire. Ex-fiance, Jason Twardus had denied any involvement in Kelly Gorham’s disappearance; however, all signs point to the obvious.
Carlson said Jason Twardus has been questioned by police since the disappearance, which came two months after the couple broke off their engagement. He said Twardus denies any involvement in Gorham’s death.
The day after they raided the Twardus home in Rochester, investigators headed to Stewartstown. “The father told them where he had a piece of land, and that’s where they found the body,” Carlson said.
He said he spoke to Jason Twardus around 3 p.m. Wednesday and he maintained his innocence. “I said, ‘Everything is pointing to you.’ He said, ‘I know it is and I’m scared to death.’ ” (Portland Press Herald)
