The Coast Guard discovered the missing fishing boat, The 75-foot Lady of Grace, submerged in 36 feet of water in Nantucket Sound. All four crew members, Antonio Barroqueiro, Rogerio Vendura, Mario Farinha, and Joao Silva, are still missing. Due to the frigid water temperatures, it is highly unlikely that there will be any survivors. It was reported from Coast Guard aircraft that debris was floating in the water about 2 miles from the boats last known location.
Coast Guard rescuers said it appeared unlikely the crew would be found alive in the frigid waters, but they would continue the search. The vessel’s lone life raft was found attached to the boat.
The 75-foot Lady of Grace was last heard from Friday night and was supposed to return to New Bedford Harbor early Saturday.
The boat’s last known position was 12 miles south of Hyannis, which is 60 miles southeast of Boston. At the time the boat went missing, the wind was blowing at about 30 to 35 mph with 8 to 10 foot waves.
It appears that there have been previous issues with this fishing vessel in the recent past.
Earlier this month, the Coast Guard had to tow the Lady of Grace after the crew radioed for help, saying they were without power and drifting. (AP)
Rescuers finds missing fishing boat submerged, lifeboat attached
The Lady of Grace’s one life raft was found still in its case and attached to the boat.
The 75-foot dragger was last heard from Friday night. It was supposed to return to New Bedford Harbor at 5 a.m. Saturday after the Coast Guard warned of rough weather, cutting a planned eight-day trip in half.
The crew from another fishing vessel communicated with Lady of Grace by e-mail until 10 p.m. Friday, then contacted the Coast Guard when the other boat failed to reply to the last e-mail.
Coast Guard officials concentrated their search on the area where the boat’s transponder was last heard, about 11 miles north of Nantucket. (WHDH)
UPDATE I: 1 Body Found in Sunken Boat; Search Ends
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — Divers found the body of a crewman on a sunken fishing boat in Nantucket Sound on Wednesday, and the search for two more men ended because debris in the wreck makes more dives too hazardous.
State police said the divers searched the entire vessel Wednesday except the engine room, which was blocked by debris. The unidentified body was found in a bunk room.

Taiza Thomsen, 24, represented Brazil at the 2003 Miss Universe pageant in Panama. She has been missing according to her family and the police are not ruling out human trafficking.
SAO PAULO, Brazil — Police said Saturday they weren’t discarding the possibility that human trafficking played a role in the disappearance of a former Miss Brazil who hasn’t contacted her family since September.
Taiza Thomsen, 24, represented Brazil at the 2003 Miss Universe pageant in Panama. The last time she spoke to her parents, she said she was in London.
“At this moment we can’t rule out anything, not even the possibility she was a victim of human trafficking,” police investigator Marcos David Salem told Brazilian TV.
The family thinks that Taiza was being threatened.
Thomsen’s family has said that in some of their conversations before she went missing, she left them with the feeling that she was being threatened. The family did not elaborate.
However, her friends think something else may have occurred.
According to some of her friends, Thomsen had worked briefly in Belgium and there was a possibility she was still there, media reported.
A friend said Saturday that she talked to Thomsen over the phone about three months ago, Brazil’s RBS TV reported. (Washington Post)
UPDATE I: Missing Miss Brazil found in UK
It appears that all the worry over missing 24 year old, ex- Miss Brazile Taiza Thomsen, was for nothing.
Taiza Thomsen, 24, contacted police in London after a global investigation was launched to locate her.
She said she did not want to be bothered by anyone, even her parents, who last spoke to her in September
But the former beauty queen told police she was “doing well in London and that she didn’t want to be found, not even by her parents.”
Investigators said it didn’t appear that she was being pressured or coerced by anybody and that the case would now be closed. (The Sun)

- about 120 pounds
- She was driving a silver four-door 2006 Toyota Corolla with California license plate 5VFG430. (Mercury News)
She has not called or e-mailed any friends or relatives since the weekend, Bates said, noting there is no obvious reason for her disappearance.
If anyone has any information regarding the whereabouts of Zhou or her vehicle please contact Stanford police at (650) 723-9633; (650) 329-2413 after normal business hours.
UPDATE I: $25,000 reward offered for tips leading to the where abouts of Mengyao Zhou
UPDATE II: May Zhou’s body found in the trunk of her car. Police are suspecting it was a suicide; however, no official report has been made. The police reference items found in the vehicle that were consistent with suicide. One would speculate a possible bottle of pills; however, no details were provided. If so, how sad a situation that May felt the need to end her life. May she rest in peace.
The body found inside the trunk of a car at Santa Rosa Junior College this morning is that of Mengyao “May” Zhou, according to Santa Rosa police. Additionally, items found in the trunk of a car owned by the missing 23-year-old Stanford University graduate student “indicate the subject may have committed suicide,” according to Santa Rosa police Sgt. Lisa Banayat.
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday, according to the Sonoma County coroner’s office. Santa Rosa Police Lt. Ed Hemphill confirmed this morning that Zhou’s car was found about 7 a.m. (Thursday) with a body in its trunk, parked at the junior college’s planetarium parking lot. The car was towed to a undisclosed location, where her body was discovered.
UPDATE III: Autopsy reveals high level of sedative
BENADRYL-LIKE MEDICINE IN STANFORD STUDENT’S BODY
Stanford University doctoral student Mengyao “May” Zhou — found dead in Santa Rosa days after she vanished from the campus — had a high level of a legal drug in her system, the Sonoma County coroner’s office reported Thursday night.
Although coroner’s officials said a cause of death has yet to be determined, they did find a toxic level of diphenhydramine, the antihistamine and sedative found in the allergy medication Benadryl and other drugs. Tests found 6.15 milligrams per liter in Zhou’s system; 1 to 5 milligrams per liter is the potentially toxic range.
No other drugs or alcohol were found in Zhou’s system, according to the toxicology report, which stemmed from an autopsy. Officials have previously said there were “no outward signs of foul play.” They have also have said Zhou’s death appeared to be a suicide. (Mercury News)

There is good new to report in the abduction of 31 year old Kimberly Walker and her four missing children: 9-year-old Jaylan, Justin, 8; Kyara, 6; and 16-month-old Kayla. All have been found safe and are well. They were found Tuesday night in a hotel. Jerry D. White, 30, was arrested.
ALL FOUND SAFE
ELKHART, Ind. – A mother and her four children were found safe Tuesday night at a motel just miles from where police said the father shot a man and abducted them three days earlier, authorities said. He was arrested as he tried to escape through an air duct.
Jerry D. White, 30, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and several counts of confinement, police said.
Investigators were able to trace the family to the Sleepy Hollow motel, about 6 miles from Walker’s home, in part because Walker had made three calls to relatives from a nearby pay phone saying they were safe, said Detective Sgt. Bill Wargo.
Officers knocked on the door of the motel room about 8 p.m. Tuesday and heard rumbling inside, after which Walker opened the door. (Yahoo News)
A truly tremendous job by all law enforcement to bring this to a safe ending.

Linoshka Torres and Luis Campos have been missing since Saturday, January 6, 2007. They have not been seen since they picked up their vehicle at the home of a mechanic. Investigators believe that the couples disappearance is a result of a kidnapping. Linoshka Torres is pregnant and due to have her baby in April.
Linoshka Torres, 18, and Luis Campos, 20, drove another car to a house near Kiest Boulevard and Polk Street on Saturday afternoon, police said. The mechanic wasn’t home, so the couple waited in his driveway. Within a few hours, Ms. Torres and Mr. Campos had vanished, and the car they were driving was left behind.
Ms. Torres’ sister Michelle Torres said the keys were left in the ignition and the couple’s cellphones were still inside. Family members said that the couple recently moved in together and that Ms. Torres is about six months pregnant. Police had found no indication of foul play and were unsure what happened to the couple. (Dallas Morning News)
Police search for missing Duncanville couple
“It’s very unlike her, very unlike her,” said Michelle Torres, Linoshka’s sister. “She would call us every day.”
Torres, who the family said is anemic, is expecting a baby girl in just a few months and has had a complicated pregnancy.
“That’s the main concern we have right now with her, because she’s a little tiny girl,” said Rachell Torres, Linoshka’s other sister. “She only weighs, even pregnant, about 105 pounds.”
When the two vanished, they left behind their cell phones, car keys and other belongings.
“I actually believe someone took them,” Michelle Torres said. “I don’t know what’s the reason or anything. I think someone has them against their will or something.” (WFAA)
