Lewis James Wilczek, 21, had been missing since April 29, 2007. He was supposed to 
meet someone in St. Cloud, MN but never showed. His pickup truck was found Wednesday. The police arrested a man who was driving it and claimed to be Wilczek. Now police have found the remains in a shallow grave in Mille Lacs County, MN. The remains are being taken to the medical examiners office; however, they are believed to be that of Lewis James Wilczek.
Police Chief Michael Pender said in a statement that the remains were found Saturday and taken to the Anoka County medical examiner’s office for an autopsy to determine the cause of death and for positive identification.
Lewis James Wilczek, 21, disappeared April 29 when he was supposed to meet someone in St. Cloud. His family told police his absence was out of character.

Jeremy Jason Hull’s past criminal activites:
Hull has a history of various charges around Minnesota. Stearns County charged him recently after he was accused of purchasing items from an auto supply company by charging the parts to a local tire company where he said he worked. Hull did not work for the shop, according to court records.
Hull has been charged in numerous counties for giving false information to police, providing false information on a driver’s license application and check forgery, according to public records. The Stearns County Jail log shows that Hull has also been charged in Dakota County for applying for a driver’s license in the name of a deceased person.
Hull spent 90 days in Sherburne County Jail after a drunken driving conviction in 2004, according to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
Body of missing man is found
The search for a Little Falls man apparently ended sadly Saturday when police found a body near Foley.
Sharon Wilczek, the mother of Lewis James Wilczek, 21, said police told her the investigation into her son’s weeklong disappearance has changed from a missing person case to a homicide.
“I can’t believe someone from around here could do something so vicious and so violent,” she said. (St Cloud Times)

Search and rescue workers continue to look for missing persons and possible survivors 
in Greensburg, KS after severe weather and tornadoes desimated the town on Friday and over the weekend. At least 8 people have died in the Greensburg area from the violent weather; however, authorities are still optimistic that they will find survivors and continue to call it a “search and rescue” mission.
GREENSBURG, Kan. (AP) — Searchers went back to work Sunday looking for anyone who might have been trapped since a tornado wiped most of this south-central Kansas town off the map. “At this point, it’s still a search and rescue mission,” Kansas state trooper Ronald Knoefel said. “We don’t want to give up hope.”
Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, the state’s adjutant general, said officials did not know how many people are missing.
“A lot of people have gone to other places and it’s difficult to track them down,” he said.
At least 10 people were known dead from weekend storms. Eight of them were in the Greensburg area and two others died elsewhere in Kansas – one during the Friday night storms that hammered Greensburg and one in a second round of storms late Saturday, state officials said.
The storms in Kansas were parts of a weekend of violent weather, with tornadoes also dashing across other parts of the Plains states late Saturday. And on Sunday, the National Weather Service posted a new tornado warning for south-central Kansas, saying a funnel cloud was spotted near Corwin, 65 miles southeast of Greensburg.
The Greensburg, KS area has just been destroyed as almost every thing in the town was destroyed. The town has literally been wiped off the map. Check out the video of the damage and devastation caused by the tornado.
Hewitt estimated 95 percent of the town of 1,500 was destroyed and predicted rescue efforts could take days as survivors could be trapped in basements and under rubble.
“This is one of the most devastating tornadoes we have had in Kansas,” said U.S. Rep. Jerry Moran.
At a shelter in neighboring Haviland, Cheryll Behm said her home in Greensburg is probably repairable, unlike the rest of the town.
“I am concerned Greensburg never will be built,” said Behm, a nurse’s aide at the Greensburg hospital. “There is no place to go back to work to. All of Main Street is gone.”

Its been three weeks since former FBI agent, Robert Levinson went missing in Iran.
Relatives of a former FBI agent missing in Iran said they’re worried and doing “everything possible” to bring him home.
Robert Levinson, of Coral Springs, Fla., was last seen more than three weeks ago on the Iranian resort island of Kish. He is said to have been working on a film.
The State Department said Iran has agreed to look into Levinson’s disappearance. The U.S. and Iran have no diplomatic relations, but they do exchange information through neutral Swiss diplomats.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in the United Arab Emirates is downplaying the case, saying there are “several such cases each year.”
Missing ex-FBI agent’s family worried
Robert Levinson, 59, of Coral Springs, was last seen March 11 on the Iranian resort island of Kish. He was said to be working on a film on the island, known for its beaches, sea turtles and relatively liberal atmosphere.
“We miss him and love him very much. We are worried about him and want him home safe and sound as soon as possible,” his wife, Christine Levinson, and other relatives said in a statement to The Associated Press.

(Sam & Theresa Parker)
As Theresa Parker’s family fears the worst, they have a prayer vigil for her in hopes a miracle and hopeful ending to Theresa’s disappearance.
“Something bad has happened to her,” said her sister Christina Hall in recalling a long list of appointments and events Theresa has missed since last seen Wednesday, March 21.
“The hardest thing is not knowing,” said her brother-in-law Jonathan Wilson, who came up from Florida with his wife, Theresa’s sister Hilda, to hold vigil on Monday. “What we’re focusing on right now is bringing our sister home.”
The mystery is taking its toll on the family’s emotions.
“We’re worn out and broken,” Jonathan said. “We just want to find her, and once we have that we’ll want answers.” (Walker County Messanger)

UPDATE I: Husband’s Car Impounded in Missing Dispatcher Case
Now there are new developments in the case of the missing Walker County 9-1-1 dispatcher.
They involve her estranged husband, Sam Parker, who is a police officer on the LaFayette force.
On Thursday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation seized Sam Parker’s patrol car. It sits in a LaFayette, Georgia impound lot.
We are told the Parkers were going through a nasty divorce when Theresa suddenly disappeared eight days ago. (WCRB-TV)
UPDATE II: Sheriff seeking volunteers for ground search Saturday
Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said a ground search for missing Walker County 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker will be conducted on Saturday, March 31.
Volunteers familiar with south Walker County are welcome and are asked to assemble no later than 9 a.m. at Walker County Fire Station No. 15 at 18 Old Lee School Road at the intersection with U.S. 27.
The search teams will concentrate on an area south of LaFayette and north of the Chattooga County line, bounded on the east by Taylor’s Ridge and on the west by Pigeon Mountain, Wilson said. (Walker County Messenger)
UPDATE III: Police reveal more details of investigation into dispatcher’s disappearance
Parker’s shift ends at 7 a.m. so she clocked out shortly after that, Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said. She was scheduled to be off Wednesday through Saturday, which is normal rotation for dispatchers, and she asked for Sunday off as well to work on moving into her new apartment.
Parker is going through a divorce with her husband Sam, a long-time sergeant with the LaFayette Police Department. She was planning to move into a townhouse near Lakeview Drive. She normally speaks with her family daily, but upon talking to her sister face to face in Fort Oglethorpe at about 10 p.m. Wednesday night, she said she would be busy moving to her new residence.
Authorities have not recovered Parker’s cell phone as has been reported, but they have used global positioning satellites to determine when and in what vicinity it was used last. Harris said he could not reveal that information during an ongoing investigation. Harris said phone records could play a major role in the investigation and could not release any phone-related specifics at this time.
If Theresa left, she didn’t leave in her vehicle. Her 1999 Toyota Forerunner was at her Cordell Road residence on Saturday where she and Sam lived in LaFayette. It was brought to the sheriff’s department for processing by a GBI crime scene specialist, which involves looking for fingerprints, hairs, fibers and other evidence “just like CSI (on TV),” Wilson said.
Sister of Missing Georgia 911 Dispatcher Says She Suspects Her Sister’s Estranged Husband
Theresa was in the midst of a divorce from her husband, Sam Parker, when she disappeared over a week ago.
“I can honestly say that I do believe he’s involved. That’s what I feel, that’s what I know in my heart,” Hill said.
“I know of an incident last year where she was really scared, she was really afraid. And she looked me in the eyes and told me that she was afraid that she was going to die,” she added.
Police say they have not classified Parker, a sergeant with the LaFayette, Ga., police department, as a suspect.
However, FOX News learned late Saturday that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation obtained a search warrant for Parker’s home based upon information gathered over the past week. There was no word if the search had been carried out yet. (FOX News)

Theresa Parker tion has named Sam Parker a “person of interest,” in the case, Wilson said.
“The main reason (for the designation) was they served a search warrant at his home, and obviously once you do that you’re focusing in on that individual,” Wilson said.

The case of the disappearance of Ashley Robinson has turned from a missing persons 
investigation into murder investigation. Ashley Robinson was a 23 year old pregnant, Indiana woman who went missing on February 12, 2007. Police now believe that Ashley Robinson was murdered. They have arrested five people in the murder as they continue to search for Ashley’s body.
Police are still searching for Robinson’s body. According to the affidavit filed in Jefferson County (Ind.) Circuit Court yesterday by Indiana State Police Detective Tom Baxter, the five suspects admitted they cooperated in a plan to lure Robinson to a location where she was struck with two blasts from a shotgun.
The affidavit does not state a motive for the killing.
The suspects are Brandon Skinner, 24; Donielle Sherley, 23; Michael Cory Bowling, 24; Brian Kemp, 27, and Carissa Miller, 18. (The Courier Journal)
(5 arrested murder suspects)
The affidavit spells out the account of the murder as follows:
The suspects gathered at Kemp’s home where they decided that “Ashley should pay … so justice would be served,” according to the affidavit.
Sherley and Miller left the meeting, picked up Robinson at home and drove her to the designated location, with the men arriving in a separate vehicle, the document said.
Bowling then handed the shotgun, which had come from Kemp, to Skinner and left with Sherley and Miller, it said. Skinner shot Robinson twice with Kemp handing him the second shell between shots, according to the affidavit.
On Wednesday police searched the home of Kemp’s mother in New Washington and found a 20-gauge shotgun. Lewis said the gun is being tested to determine whether it was used in the crime. He declined to provide further details on what the suspects told investigators.
Sonia Kent said, “I don’t know what was going on” that would have led to the murder. Kent, who said she has guardianship of Robinson’s 4-year-old daughter, said Robinson last visited her in Madison on Jan. 4.

Four years ago 83-year-old Florence Bock went missing. She literally vanished. This past Friday, Florence Beck was found as the new owners of the home strangely discovered.
NEW YORK (AP) — The remains of a woman reported missing four years ago were found in her home after the new owner sent a cleaning crew to the house.
Until last week, no one apparently knew what happened to 83-year-old Florence Bock. She was found on Friday, said police Sgt. Carlos Nieves.
The house in the Bronx was purchased recently by a developer after the missing woman was declared dead, police said.
The cleaning crew found Bock’s remains – a pile of bones, including a skull, lying next to a cane.
Maybe someone would like to explain why the police never actually went in the home to see if Florence Bock was in it. Bizarre. Bock’s death is not being considered suspicious; however, the investigation into her disappearance certainly looks it.
