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.
UPDATE I: Howard University student James Duncan III had been found Safe
Howard University student James Duncan III had been found. According to a university press release, Duncan was located Tuesday unharmed in an undisclosed location.
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.”

He was last heard from at 3am while talking to a friend on his cell phone when the line suddenly went dead. According to reports, it is believed Zamlen was near the Mississippi River near St. Clair Avenue in St. Paul at the time and had been drinking alcohol.
According to family members, Zamlen was on a phone call with a friend, and the last word heard were, “Oh my god, oh my god, I’m slipping.” At that point, the phone cut out and the friend called police.
Dan Zamlen Description:
- 6-foot tall
- weighing 175 pounds
- He was last seen wearing a blue jacket and jeans.
- Zamlen may be in need of medical attention as a Type 1 diabetic
Family and friend search for missing Dan Zamlen near area where he was last reported to be.
On Sunday afternoon, his parents, Dale and Sally Zamlen, and several friends from Eveleth and St. Thomas gathered near the spot where he was last heard from, a trail next to a grassy area next to a sharp, wooded slope.
Family and friends had combed the area with no results, and a Minnesota State Patrol made passes over the area. Just before 5 p.m., St. Paul Fire Department vehicles arrived at the scene, apparently to extend the search.

Another large group of students, using flashlights, searched the St. Thomas campus Sunday night. Another thorough search of the campus is being conducted today.
St. Paul Police emphasized that students should not search the steep banks and bluffs along the river. The bluffs are especially slippery at this time of the year and the river is swollen because of spring runoff.

Volunteers have knocked on more than 7,000 doors in the search for missing St. Paul college student Dan Zamlen, and as his disappearance nears the two-week mark, searchers plan to hit 3,000 more, a search organizer said Friday.
Chris Ismil, director of Iron Range Youth in Action, said the door-knocking effort would expand the search area to about a 3-mile radius from where Zamlen was last believed to have been.

Rice University student Matthew Wilson had been missing since December 15, 2007. His car had been found in Berkeley, CA on June 10, 2008. Now after all this time Matthew Wilson has been found alive on the campus of the Campus the University of California at Berkeley. Wilson was arrested by campus police in connection with trespassing and theft charges. All things considered, at least he is safe and alive.
A Rice University student missing since December was found, and arrested, on another campus in California, Berkeley Police said Thursday.
Matthew Wilson, 21, was detained by police on a routine patrol of the campus at the University of California at Berkeley Wednesday night, where he was found using a laptop in a classroom. He was arrested in connection with trespassing and theft charges after investigators learned who he was.
“He was detained because he was trespassing in the building after hours, and later admitted to the officer his true identity,” Sgt. Mary Kusmiss, the public information officer for the Berkeley Police Dept. told FOXNews.com Thursday.
According to reports, Matthew Wilson had gone missing voluntarily and there was no indication of foul play.”He later told our detectives that he wanted to disappear.”
BERKELEY: POLICE SAY MISSING TEXAS STUDENT CAME WEST TO ‘DISAPPEAR’
Matthew Wilson on 72-Hour Psychiatric Hold
When asked to identify himself, Wing said Wilson provided the officer with a false name before eventually admitting his true identify.
At that point, Wing said Wilson was arrested on four charges: providing false information to a police officer, possession of stolen property with a serial number obliterated, possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools.
Wilson was taken to the Berkeley City Jail and then transferred to the John George Psychiatric Pavilion.
“Wilson is currently being held under a 72-hour psychiatric hold,” said Wing, who added that at the time of his arrest Wilson seemed psychically healthy and was coherent. “When he’s released back into criminal custody he will be arraigned.”

Matthew J. Wilson, a junior at Rice University in Houston has been missing since December 15, 2007. Wilson’s car was recently found on June 10, 2008 in the 1200 block of Allston Way in Berkeley, CA.
Matthew Wilson Description:
Cathy Wilson, the mother of missing Matthew Wilson has flown to the Bay Area from Oklahoma and joined the search for her son.
His mother, Cathy Wilson, recently flew to the Bay Area from Oklahoma and joined the search for her son Saturday afternoon, according to Bridget Melson, co-founder of Trinity Search and Recovery.
“People really dig back into memory when they see her,” Melson said. ‘She looks so much like her son.”
The group will resume the search at about 2 p.m. today and plans on making stops at University of California-Berkeley as well as Bay Area Rapid Transit stations in Berkeley, San Francisco, Oakland and Walnut Creek.
Melson said there have been more than 10 reported sightings of Matt Wilson in the Bay Area, including several in Walnut Creek within the last week.
Trinity Search and Recovery has handed out fliers to businesses in the area of some of the sightings, and employees reported seeing a man who fit Matt Wilson’s description, Melson said.
Cathy Wilson walks through People’s Park in Berkeley asking people if they have seen her missing son, Matthew. His car was found abandoned in Berkeley last month.
Family web site: FindMattWilson.org
Mom comes to Bay Area to look for missing son
After the car was found on June 10, dirty and abandoned, on Allston Way in central Berkeley, a Pleasanton group that helps families search for missing loved ones got involved. The organization, called Trinity Search & Recovery, created a Web site with photos of Matthew and set up a telephone number for tips. A $25,000 reward is being offered by his mother, Rice University and Crime Stoppers of Houston.
Police in Berkeley and at Rice University have said they do not suspect foul play in Matthew’s disappearance. The book on identity theft suggests that Matthew may have considered changing his name, his mother said, but if that’s the case, it seems unlikely he would keep his flaming red hair and beard.

Matthew Wilson, a 20 year old computer science major at Rice University has been missing since December 15, 2007. Wilson’s vehicle, a silver 2004 four-door Dodge Neon with Oklahoma license plate 863 MCZ, has been found abandoned in Berkely, CA.
HOUSTON — The car that belongs to missing Rice University student Matthew Wilson has been found in Berkeley, Calif.
Wilson’s silver 2004 four-door Dodge Neon with Oklahoma license plate 863 MCZ was towed as an abandoned vehicle from a residential street in West Berkeley June 10.
Berkeley police informed the Rice University Police Department there were no obvious signs of foul play inside the car, and they have issued a description and photos of Wilson with a request for the community’s help in searching for the missing 20-year-old from Haworth, Okla. Rice police notified Wilson’s family of the news.
”The discovery of Matthew’s car is an important piece of evidence,” said Rice Police Chief Bill Taylor. “We will cooperate fully with the Berkeley Police Department investigation, and we’re all hopeful that Matthew will be found alive and well.”,
Missing Rice student’s car found in California
“My understanding is that (Berkeley police) have done a thorough search of the car and feel comfortable that there was no indication of foul play,” said Rice University Police Chief Bill Taylor.
He added that Berkeley police indicated the car had been abandoned for some time.
Wilson’s mother, Cathy Wilson, said she has no idea why her son, who was last seen in Houston on Dec. 14, would be in Berkeley or whether he knew anyone there.
Though she is glad the car was found, she said, the discovery did not offer her full relief.
“I’m just pondering what else could have happened,” she said.

No body, No Crime … Only in Aruba and when a crime is committed like in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. In other places where people take crime seriously there are arrests, prosecutions and convictions made without a body all the time. Like in the case of missing Nina Reiser and her husband Hans Reiser who is presently on trial for her murder. Or in the case of Kendrick Williams as well. Its only in places like Aruba where a cover up of a crime takes precedent over a crime against an individual where justice is denied that such actions are condoned. It would appear that only in Aruba does Paulas Van der Sloot’s comments of “No Body, No Crime” ring true.
Satish says to Joran: I didn’t declare anything.
Joran says to the brothers: Of course you did.
Satish says to Joran: What did I say / against your father?
Joran says to the brothers: You said that he (Joran’s father) said that if there’s no corpse there’s no case, or I don’t know what more sorts of shit.
Joran says to the brothers: That’s not true, the only thing he (Joran’s father) said that if there’s no body there don’t have a case.

19 year old University of Nebraska student, Jessica O’Grady, is missing and presumed dead. Jessica O’ Grady was last seen on May 10, 2006. O’Grady made a cell phone call the night that she went missing stating that she was going to the house of the man she had dated, Christopher Edwards. Jessica O’Grady was never seen nor heard from again. No body, no crime, huh? Don’t tell that to Christopher Edwards. Jessica’s body was never recovered; however, Christopher Edwards is presently serving 80 years to life in the death of Jessica O’Grady.

Brianna Denison has been missing since January 20, 2008 when she was abducted by a serial rapist linked by DNA to a string of attacks near the University of Nevada, Reno campus. It now appears that a female body has been found and removed about 4:30 p.m. and taken to the Washoe County Coroner’s Office.
RENO, Nev. (AP) – Dozens of police officers searched for evidence in a field where the body of a woman was found Friday but declined to speculate whether it was that of Brianna Denison, a 19-year-old college student missing since she was abducted nearly a month ago.
A worker found the body about noon in a brush-covered field on the city’s south side near a light industrial area, Reno police spokesman Steve Frady said.
“There has been a lot of speculation, a lot of rumor about a possible connection with the disappearance of Brianna Denison. At this point we have no information to link that case with this one,” Frady said at a briefing.
About 45 law enforcement and crime lab personnel, including three FBI agents, remained at the scene before night fell.
Frady said the time and cause of death would be determined by an autopsy scheduled Saturday. Authorities have “no ID, not even a tentative ID,” he said.
UPDATE I: Body found in southeast Reno being moved
Authorities are moving the body of a woman found today in southeast Reno.
Spokesman Steve Frady earlier refused to comment on whether the investigation into the dead body is related to the abduction of Brianna Denison.

UPDATE II: Autopsy to Tell if Body Is Missing Reno Kidnap Victim, Brianna Denison
A worker found the woman’s body about noon Friday in a brush-covered field on the city’s south side near a light industrial area. The field is about eight miles south of the house near the University of Nevada, Reno campus where Denison was last seen in the early morning hours of Jan. 20.
“There has been a lot of speculation, a lot of rumor about a possible connection with the disappearance of Brianna Denison. At this point we have no information to link that case with this one,” Reno police spokesman Steve Frady said.
UPDATE III: Female Body ID’d as that of Missing Brianna Denison
RENO, Nev. — Police say the body of a woman found in a field in Reno is that of a college student missing since she was abducted nearly a month ago.
The body of 19-year-old Brianna Denison was discovered Friday in a grown-over lot by a business park on the city’s south side. Police confirmed Saturday that the body was hers.
Autopsy results confirm that body is that of missing teen Brianna Denison
Reno Police confirm that the body found Friday in South Reno is that of missing Reno teen Brianna Denison.
Police say that Denison was strangled to death, and her body had been in South Reno for at least a week.
In a press conference, Police say they believe Denison’s kidnapper and murderer is still in the Reno area. They also believe he is a serial rapist. Police found DNA evidence at the scene of the crime that they say links the suspect to other sexual assaults near the UNR campus.
They describe the suspect as white man with light brown/dirty blonde hair. He is 5’8” to 5′ 10” with a slender to medium build. The victim said the suspect was wearing a dark hooded pull over sweat shirt with no zippers or markings, athletic type nylon silver sweat pants with black stripes, and white tennis shoes.

UPDATE I: Man Sought in Teen’s ‘Suspicious’ Disappearance
Brianna Denison Reported Missing Sunday After Friends Discover Blood on Her Pillow
Authorities have announced that they wanted to talk to an unnamed man in his 40s who may have information in Brianna Denison’s whereabouts. The man dropped Denison’s friend off at the house where she was staying after she failed to get a taxi cab.
A man in a sport utility vehicle picked up one of Denison’s friends around 1 a.m. Sunday at the Sands Regency Hotel Casino after she failed to find a taxi. The driver dropped her at the house where Denison was staying. While the ride was without incident and police are not calling the man a “suspect,” they say that he is a “person of interest” who may know something about the disappearance. “It’s a leaf that’s unturned,” Macdonald said.
Police today released surveillance image of a car driven by a man who they say may know something about Denison’s whereabouts.
Police in Reno, Nev., want to talk to a man they believe may have information about a 19-year-old woman’s “suspicious” disappearance Sunday.
Brianna Denison was last seen around 4 a.m. Sunday when she went to sleep on the sofa at a friend’s house near the University of Nevada in Reno. The two had been at a party at the Sands Regency Hotel Casino earlier in the night. The friend gave Denison a blanket and pillow before going upstairs to bed.
When the friend came downstairs later in the day, Denison was missing and a bloodstain the size of a “silver dollar” was on the pillow she had been using, Lt. Robert Macdonald, a spokesman for the Reno Police Department, told ABC News.
The blood caused some alarm for police, Macdonald said, but the bigger concern was that it appeared Denison had disappeared wearing no shoes and only the sweats and a light shirt she’d worn to bed. Her cell phone and purse had also been left behind.
UPDATE II: Search on for Woman Missing Who Disappeared From Nevada Home
A 19-year-old college student mysteriously vanished from a Reno, Nev., home early Sunday morning, and cops fear she may have been kidnapped.
“We’re treating this as an abduction case right now,” Lt. Robert McDonald of the Reno Police Department told FOX News. “A small amount of blood on her pillow is of interest to us.”
Cops are looking for a tan-colored, later-model GMC or Chevy Suburban and a white male, about 45 years old, who might be of Latin descent.
“He’s certainly a person of interest. We’re treating him as a person of interest, not a suspect,” McDonald said.
The man driving the vehicle had picked up a friend of Denison’s earlier that evening from the party both were attending when the friend was trying to hail a cab and dropped her off without incident at Mackay Court, the residence where she lived and Denison was staying, McDonald told FOXNews.com.
UPDATE III: Friends of Missing Brianna Denison set up FACE BOOK site
(Click here for full page)
Friends of missing teenager Brianna Denison have set up a “Find Bri” page on the popular social networking site Facebook.com.
The page, set up by Ashley Stern of Colorado, shows a photo of the 19-year-old who has been missing since late this weekend.
The page can be found here and encourages anyone with information about Denison to call a number listed at the bottom.
America’s Most Wanted
After leaving the casino, police say Brianna returned to a friend’s home at 1395 MacKay Court at around 4 a.m., and was reportedly last seen falling asleep on a couch. The residence is in an area close to the University of Nevada, and is populated mostly by college students living off-campus. That was the last time anyone saw the 19-year-old psychology student.
Earlier that night, a friend, who was also staying at the MacKay Court residence, solicited a ride from an unknown male. The girl arrived home safe and sound, and police say that the journey was without incident.
UPDATE IV: Reno Cops: Missing Student Was Abducted
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Investigators went door to door Tuesday searching for a 19-year-old college student who they believe was kidnapped from a friend’s home over the weekend. Brianna Denison was last seen around 4 a.m. Sunday when she went to sleep on her friend’s couch after a night of partying. She slept near an unlocked glass door and used a 2-foot-tall teddy bear as an extra pillow, police said.
When the friend awoke, Denison and the teddy bear were gone. Her purse, cell phone and clothes, including two pairs of shoes, were undisturbed, police said.
“We have not come up with any other clues, any of the items or anything that would lead us to Brianna at this time,” police Lt. Ron Holladay.
UPDATE V: FBI Joins Search for ‘Abducted’ Teen
Authorities Now Say Brianna Denison Was Likely Taken From Her Friend’s Reno Home
The FBI has joined the investigation into what police now say was likely the abduction of a teenage woman from a friend’s Reno, Nev., home sometime Sunday morning.
Tips, Frady said, continue to come to investigators. “We are continuing to talk to people,” he said. “We are getting information, and we’re continuing to follow those leads.”
Authorities also continue to seek an unnamed man in his 40s, who they believe may have information about Denison’s whereabouts.
The man became implicated in the abduction investigation after he dropped another one of Denison’s friends at the same house where she had been staying. Many college-age women share the rental house near the University of Nevada.
Authorities say that the man picked up Denison’s friend around 1 a.m. Sunday at the Sands Regency Hotel Casino after she failed to find a taxi. The driver, considered for now a “person of interest” rather than a “suspect,” dropped the young woman at the house roughly three hours before Denison and another friend returned from the same party.
UPDATE VI: Denison Investigators Interview Registered Sex Offenders
Investigators have begun interviewing sex offenders who live in the neighborhood where Brianna Denison disappeared from. They say within a one-mile span of the home on Mackay Way, there are about 100 registered sex offenders…and police want to talk to all of them.
Officers checked every empty home, building and alley in the Mackay Way neighborhood, leaving no trash can unturned. With no sign of Brianna, they say their next step was taking a closer look at neighbors with past convictions of a sex crime.
Reno search focuses on sex offenders
Police question nearly 100 as they continue hunt for former Mendocino woman
The Regional Sex Offender Unit, which includes Reno and Sparks police as well as Washoe County sheriff’s deputies, was focusing on sex offenders who live within a mile of the Mackay Court residence where Denison was staying before she disappeared.
That was part of a larger effort to contact more than 1,700 sex offenders registered in Washoe County.
“We’re continuing to be out in the field and the sex offender unit is also working on this,” said Steve Frady, public information officer for the Reno police and fire departments.
Authorities expressed frustration with the search.
“From our perspective, we don’t have any credible leads in which to follow up at this point,” University of Nevada, Reno Police Chief Adam Garcia said Wednesday night.
“Basically, Brianna has disappeared. She has fallen off the face of the Earth,” he told a Reno radio station.
UPDATE VII: Possible Suspect Sketch Released In Missing Teen Case
(sketch of Reno, NV serial rapist)
Already linked to the December sexual assault of a woman in Reno, police said Thursday they now have DNA evidence that also ties the suspected abduction of Brianna Denison to an attack in the same neighborhood back in late November.
Police also released a composite sketch of a suspected rapist in a previously unreported attack in the area in October that investigators said is “not inconsistent” with the descriptions in the other three cases.
The developments stem from an “exponential increase” in information flowing into police tip lines since investigators released a description on Monday of a suspect in a December kidnapping and sexual assault also near campus of the University of Nevada, Reno, Reno Police Commander Ron Holladay said.
Police said DNA helped link that crime to evidence collected at the Reno home where the 19-year-old Denison last was seen in the early morning hours of Jan. 20.
On Thursday, Holladay said they now have connected all three attacks with DNA and were investigating the October rape of a woman who came forward on Wednesday to report she was attacked at gunpoint in a UNR parking garage within 100 yards of a campus police station.
