“I love my child; my family love my child. We wanna make sure he’s OK,” Ellenberg said.
Duncan’s mother flew in from California and says she plans to stay in the area passing out flyers and talking with students on Howard University’s campus until she learns of her son’s whereabouts or finds out what happened to him.
While the pressure of college can prompt some students to drop out and leave school abruptly, for reasons they have not made public D.C. police do not believe that has happened here and consider Duncan’s situation critical.

Metropolitan police and the Howard University Police Department declined to comment, due to Duncan’s wish for privacy, but Duncan’s mother, Terry Ellenberg, did speak about how pleased she was after receiving word of her son’s whereabouts.
“I’m very happy right now,” Ellenburg said. “I haven’t seen him yet, but I’m about to go to see if I can find him where I was told he was seen.”

The Schade family, Matt, Rowena, Devon, 11, and Sean, 8 are missing and have not been seen since March 20, 2009. The family left their home in Creighton, Nebraska in a black Ford Taurus, license plate number 12-G997, under what the sheriff says is allegations of possible family violence.
“We had had a report of family violence, and that is why we started the investigation. At the time the Deputy returned on the 20th, we had no grounds at that time to continue the investigation,” Janecek said.

UPDATE I: Husband Passes Lie Detector Test, Pleads For Their Return
An hour later, Douglas Schafer, 42, left with a police escort without talking to reporters, a far cry from Friday morning, when he was telling CBS 2 HD about the wife he confronted moments before she disappeared.
“I said I knew you were taking money from me. I walked up in the bedroom and I came back down and within five, 10 minutes she was gone,” Douglas Schafer said. “With the children.”
“I called some family members and they said they hadn’t spoken to her in months because she had stolen some checks from them,” Schafer said.
Those who live nearby were stunned, while some were skeptical.
“I can’t see why she’d run away,” neighbor Tom Cavezza said, adding he didn’t really think it was possible that she ran away. “No, ah, it’s possible. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
Schafer said his wife left her cell phone here at the home, and took money before she left.
UPDATE II: Missing N.J. mother, 2 children found in Towson, MD
A New Jersey mother and her children were found unharmed in Maryland just days after they disappeared from home.
Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi said Patricia Schafer, her 13-year-old son and three-year-old daughter were leaving Towson Town Center yesterday when Baltimore County police stopped them.
Schafer will be charged with interfering with the custody of the children and will remain jailed in Maryland pending an extradition hearing. It was not immediately clear if she had retained an attorney.
UPDATE III: East Hanover mother who disappeared with kids facing theft charge; Psychiatric evaluation required; $250K bail to be reviewed today
An East Hanover mother who whisked her two children off to Maryland without telling her husband is facing charges of stealing from a relative and may have falsely claimed to be receiving chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, according to court records released Thursday.
Goldblatt Terrace resident Patricia Schafer, 37, is charged with interfering with custody by allegedly depriving her husband Douglas Schafer, who is the father of their children, of parenting time with their 3-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son, and of keeping secret the whereabouts of their children.
The charge applies even to married couples such as the Schafers if one parent deliberately keeps the children from the other for a prolonged period of time.
