Matthew Wilson, a 20 year old computer science major and straight-A student at Rice University has been missing since December 15, 2007. According to reports, Matthew Wilson made a $400 cash withdrawal from his bank account on Dec. 14, the day he was last seen. We hope that the bank machine that the transaction was done at has a camera.
“He’s a very serious student. He doesn’t participate in high-risk behaviors. It was really out of place. This is a gentleman who takes his school work very, very serious.”
Wilson was not known to drink or party. (Houston Chronicle)
Matthew Wilson Description:
If anyone has any information about Matthew Wilson’s whereabouts please call the Rice University Police Department at 713-348-6000. To respond to the Crime Stoppers offer, call 713-222-TIPS (8477).
“I saw him … he was in his room, working,” said Elliott Harwell, Wilson’s roommate, of that last Dec. 14 sighting.
Harwell, a history major, left their apartment Friday night to work on a paper.
When he came back Saturday and saw Wilson’s silver 2004 Dodge Neon was gone, he assumed his roommate was in a computer lab or library.
“He’s a very diligent student,” Harwell said.
So diligent in fact, that Wilson eschewed e-mail because he found it a distraction. Unlike many students, Wilson didn’t devote much online energy to anything other than work. No page on Facebook or MySpace.

The body has been sent to the state medical examiner’s office in Charleston for an autopsy, the Huntington Police said. The agency said the next update about the case is scheduled for Monday afternoon.

Police say a body found in a crawl space at a Huntington apartment building is that of a missing Marshall University student.

Emily Sander, 18, is last seen leaving the Retreat bar in El Dorado with Israel Mireles on Friday, November 23, 2007. She has not been seen nor heard from since. Her car was found the following day at the Retreat, a bar east of El Dorado.
The search for answers in the disappearance of Emily Sander, a Butler Community College student, led authorities to Room 21 of the El Dorado Motel, where a manager reported an altercation may have occurred.
Authorities will not release details of the evidence they found Saturday in that room, but said they believe Emily Sander was the victim of violence.
Sander, 18, was last seen Friday at the Retreat, a bar east of El Dorado, leaving with Israel Mireles, 24. Her car was found the following day at the bar.
El Dorado Police Chief Tom Boren said Mireles is the last person known to be seen with Sander.
Emily Sander case timeline
UPDATE I: Friend: Missing Kansas Student Led Double Life as Internet Porn Star
This case was just thrown a bizarre curve ball. It appears that the missing Emily Sanders may also be an internet porn star named Zoey Zane.
A missing Kansas college student believed to be the victim of foul play apparently led a double life as an Internet porn star by the name of Zoey Zane.
Nude photos of 18-year-old Emily Sander appeared on a Zoey Zane Web site before she vanished, and investigators are looking into whether her modeling had anything to do with her disappearance last Friday.
“She enjoyed it. She is a young teenage girl and she wanted to be in the movies and enjoyed movies. She needed the extra money,” Nikki Watson, a close friend of Sander’s at Butler Community College, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “Nobody in El Dorado knew besides her close friends.”
Sander’s brother, Jacob Sander, confirmed that the nude woman pictured on the site is his sister.
El Dorado Police Chief Tom Boren said FBI and state experts on Internet crime have been called in.
“Investigators are aware that Miss Sander was apparently involved in a Web site situation,” he said. “Allegations that this may factor into her disappearance are being thoroughly investigated.”
Sander was last seen leaving a bar in El Dorado, about 30 miles from Wichita, with a man identified as Israel Mireles, 24, authorities said. Sander and Mireles had met that night at the bar, according to Watson.
UPDATE II: Body of secret porn star found in Kansas
Authorities said the preliminary physical description of the body found about 50 miles east of El Dorado matches that of missing college student Emily Sander. Investigators refused to give details about the state of the body or how it was found.

Missing Woman Coverage a Black and White Issue?
Why does one missing woman get all the attention while another woman’s story becomes a buried headline? Jackson, Miss., Police Chief Malcolm McMillin, who has been heading a search over the past eight days for 20-year-old Latasha Norman, thinks he knows one reason why. “As far as the interest by the national media in the story, I think race probably had an impact,” the police chief said.
Family Confident Missing JSU Student Is Alive The search continues tonight for the missing Jackson state student
After one week, very few clues have turned up on the wherabouts of Latasha. She was last seen leaving an accounting class at Jackson state around 2:30 Tuesday November 13th. Her father Danny Bolden, “It’s been seven days now we’d like to bring this to a closure, just like the chief said we don’t have any leads yet we don’t know were still investigating, were crying out for help.” During a briefing on campus, investigators said they were limited in what they could say about Latasha’s case. They say they’ve received several tips and are following up on several leads. Hinds County Sheriff and Jackson Police Chief Malcolm McMillin says, “This needs to be national news. We need the rest of the country to have the same kind of concern we have for this.”
No new leads in student’s disappearance
Police reported no new leads Friday in the disappearance of Jackson State University student Latasha Norman, and her father said he’s staying in the Jackson area to be close to the investigation. “We haven’t heard anything new,” said Danny Bolden, of Greenville. He indicated press reports on his missing daughter are helping “keep the case alive.” He said police had told him they were following up on several phone calls but that nothing concrete had come up.

BYU student, Camille Cleverley, had been missing for nearly a week and was last seen 
riding her bike on August 30, 2007. Her bike had been taken by two teens who stated they theought it had been abandoned earlier this week. Now the unfortunate news comes that the body of Camille Cleverley was found at the base of a cliff approximately 1,000 yards from Bridal Veil Falls on Sunday afternoon.
Another sad and tragic end, rest in piece Camille.
Cleverley’s body was discovered at the base of a cliff approximately 1,000 yards from Bridal Veil Falls on Sunday afternoon. Officials say clothing on the body confirmed that it was Camille, and that it appears she died on the mountain. Exactly what kind of injuries she sustained were not made clear, but investigators say it looks as though she fell from the cliff above.
Authorities are conducting an investigation to determine exactly what happened and they have not yet ruled out the possibility of foul play — even though there were no initial indicators of a homicide or suicide.
The area where Cleverley’s body was found is dense with thick brush and trees and is a spot where many hikers have encountered trouble in the past, officials said.
Camille’s body found
The search for missing Brigham Young University student Camille Cleverley has ended. Her body was located at the base of a cliff near the falls this afternoon.
Search and rescue crews discovered Cleverley’s body at 3:31 p.m. in some brush and trees near a rock-strewn field at the base of a 200-foot cliff about a quarter-mile east of the falls, said Utah County Sheriff Jim Tracy.
Cleverley appears to have died from injuries sustained from a fall, said Tracy. Tracy said he could not yet rule out foul play pending a full investigation. Two detectives and a medical examiner were on the scene as of 4:30 p.m. (Salt Lake City Tribune)

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
- 140 pounds
- 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)

Kenny Ebarb has been missing since July 17, 2005 in the vicinity of the 21000 block of Countryside Rd. near FM 1960 East. The next day, July 16, 2005, Ebarb’s truck was found, abandoned and burned, about 23 miles away, in Huffman, TX. For two years, Ebarb’s family has dealt with Kenny’s disappearance with a range of emotions from hope to despair, frustration to anger, grief to loneliness not knowing what happened or having recovered his body. The case was deemed a homicide without a body.
More than 400 people including the Ebarb family and Tim Miller of Texas EquuSearch attended The 21st annual meeting of Parents of Murdered Children. So many times we forget about the pain and anguish that family members go through after their loved one’s body is found. It can be even worse psychologically for those left behind when a body is never found. They are just left to wonder and anguish over what happened. Tim Miller of Texas EquuSearch said during the conference:
The couple were joined in the hotel lobby by Tim Miller, founder of Texas Equusearch. Miller said cases of missing young men are “often overlooked or ignored” by the media, which “tends to focus on cases of missing women, or children.”
Miller was the luncheon speaker at the convention. Still, he took time to sit with the Ebarbs, gently advising them to attend one of the many workshops held for parents, relatives and siblings of murder victims.
“Everybody in this room thinks they’ve gone through the worst possible thing – losing a child,” Miller said. “I can tell them they have not. The worst possible thing is what you two are going through – not knowing. Not having that closure that allows you to fully grieve.” (Houston Chronicle)
The families of murdered and missing loved ones are a breed apart and have special issues and problems that none of us could even begin to relate to. Please remember that even after their family members are found. That although their missing loved one has been returned home, their grieving process goes on for years.

UPADTE I: Female Body Found in Car of Missing Wisconsin Student
A female body was found in the car that a 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Green Bay student was last seen driving before she vanished two weeks ago. The car was pulled from the Fox River near downtown Green Bay Thursday, authorities said.
Green Bay Police Chief Jim Arts said a female body was in the vehicle and an autopsy would be conducted Friday to identify it and determine a cause of death.
The Mercury Sable was found in deep waters with “zero visibility” so divers could not immediately identify it or read the license plate, said Lt. Dave Wesely.
Wesely said the tracks were found near an industrial park and they went right into the river. (FOX)
