51 year old Josephine Frenna from Fort Lauderdale, FL has been missing since Thursday, August 21, 2008. Josephine Frenna had sought a restraining order from her estranged husband, 58 year old Gerardo Di Marco. Not again, looks like another case of a divorce going terrible wrong. Why can’t people just allow the other to walk away?
Josephine Frenna
Josephine Frenna, 51, who recently moved from Canada, previously told a Broward County judge that she and her son were “affraid for our life” because her estranged husband, Gerardo Di Marco, is “violent” and “dangerous,” the Herald reported.
Di Marco filed for divorce last week, and Frenna was scheduled to be in court Friday for a hearing on the restraining order against him.
Frenna’s 14-year-old son became suspicious Thursday when he returned from school to find his mother’s car, purse and cell phone, but no trace of her. Police have searched nearby apartments, hospitals, jails and airlines with no luck.
Frenna’s family and friends have been interviewed as well. De Marco was located Friday by Fort Lauderdale police and has been cooperative, police told the Herald.
”We want to find out what happened,” Steve Stabile, a family spokesman, said.
According to Det. Kathy Collins, a Fort Lauderdale Police spokeswoman, “there is no evidence that a crime was committed;” however, the relatives of missing Josephine Frenna fear foul play. Police have also interviewed the estranged husband, Di Marco, whom police said ”is being cooperative,”
She disappeared a day before a court hearing in which she was going to ask a judge to continue a restraining order — first issued in July — against her estranged husband, 58-year-old Gerardo Di Marco.
He filed for divorce last week.
Although Frenna was absent from the hearing, Broward Circuit Court Judge Jack Tuter extended the restraining order, according to Michael Emery, Frenna’s attorney.
”I have not heard anything about Josephine,” Emery said.
”She was supposed to have come Thursday to see me,” he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Fort Lauderdale police at 954-828-5700 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
UPDATE I: Investigators Check to See if Body Is Missing Florida Mom Josephine Frenna
U.S. Coast Guard officials found the body of a woman clad in a blue bathing suit about 20 miles east of the Sebastian Inlet early Sunday afternoon, the Miami Herald reports.
Sgt. Frank Sousa of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department told FOXNews.com that they expected results of the dental records check to be completed on Tuesday.
Woman found off inlet drowned, sheriff’s office says
An autopsy shows that drowning was the cause of death of the woman whose body was found about 24 miles east of the Sebastian Inlet over the weekend, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.
Fort Lauderdale detectives traveled to St. Lucie today to see whether the body is Josephine Frenna, 51, a Fort Lauderdale woman who vanished Thursday morning.

UPDATE III: Police: Keys found on beach belong to drowned Lauderdale woman
FORT LAUDERDALE – A set of keys found in a bag on a beach belong to a Fort Lauderdale woman who went missing and later was discovered dead in the ocean, police said today.
Although police have not officially determined whether Josephine Frenna’s death was accidental, the finding of the bag suggests that she could have gone for a swim in the ocean before she vanished.
But Frenna’s family held a news conference today to dispute that.
“There is no way that Josephine went into the water of her own volition,” family friend Steve Stabile said at the condo building along Galt Ocean Mile where Frenna lived.

In 2006, after Bouteldjan turned 18, she contacted her mother and began what would become a two-year correspondence by e-mail. She finally agreed to meet her mother, together with police, in Luxembourg in July.
However, the young woman did not want to tell police about her disappearance, her whereabouts for the past 11 years, nor where she lives now or what had happened to her over the years.
“She did not want to tell us what had happened,” Kaski said, adding that Bouteldjan behaved suspiciously towards authorities.

47 year old Patricia Ann Presba has been missing since Thursday, July 24, 2008. What makes this missing persons case bizarre is that her husband, Ron Presba, went missing one month earlier. When police arrived at the home of Patricia Presba, they found blood on the door.
At 10:45 a.m. Thursday, deputies were dispatched to a home at 4500 Meadow Brook Road near Georgetown, the home of Patricia Presba.
When they got there, deputies noted that the front door of the residence was ajar and had what appeared to be blood on it. Deputies checked the inside of the residence and noted more blood. No one was found inside.
Patricia Ann Presba Description:
-
5-foot-7 tall
-
160 pounds
-
with brown hair
-
hazel eyes.
-
She is known to drive a blue/green 2003 Hyundai Tiburon and associate with a man named Jaime Ramos
-
Presba is listed as “at risk” because of the circumstances that surrounded the incident, and a missing persons report was filed.
Patricia Ann Presba disappeared approximately one month after her husband, Ronald Presba’s, SUV was found burned with human remains inside.
Presba is the wife of Ronald Presba, 54, whose SUV was found burned out at the base of a ravine along Highway 193 near Kelsey on June 25, a sheriff’s staffer said.
Human remains were found in the passenger compartment of the Chevy Suburban, but a forensic autopsy has not determined conclusively if the remains were of Ronald Presba.

UPDATE I: Police: Utah Arrests Linked To El Dorado Search; 2 Taken Into Custody At Motel 6
(click on pic for video)
Two people have been taken into custody in Salt Lake City in connection with the mysterious recent disappearance of two people in the Georgetown area of El Dorado County, a television station reported.
The pair, who were not immediately identified, were found at a Motel 6, KSL television reported.
KSL said agents from the Utah Division of Motor Vehicle Enforcement were running license plates at the Motel 6 at 1900 West and North Temple when police said they found a 2003 Hyundai wanted in connection with the El Dorado County disappearances.
Salt Lake City police officers were called to assist. Officers from the DMV arrested a woman as she came out of her motel room and headed toward the car. The man was arrested in his room shortly afterward without incident, KSL reported.
According to reports, the man and woman arrested in the hotel were both taken to the hospital to treat wounds on both parties.
According to Salt Lake City police Lt. Scott White, the man was taken to the hospital with what appeared to be three gunshot wounds. The woman had a stab wound on her arm. Investigators don’t know if they had just happened, or if they were older wounds.
Also, since the disappearance of Patricia Presba, the police have also been looking for an associate of Presba’s, Jaime Ramos.
(Is this man who was arrested Jaime Ramos? Was the woman with his Patricia Presba being held against her will? ABC4)
UPDATE II: Riddle of disappearances deepens; Pair in Salt Lake City with car linked to missing wife face questioning
And even as El Dorado County detectives traveled Friday to Salt Lake City to question two people found at an airport hotel with a car linked to Patricia Presba, not much had been cleared up in this foothills mystery.
A vehicle found at a Motel 6 appeared to be a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon associated with Patricia Presba, authorities said. Golmitz could not confirm the identity of a man and woman taken into custody with the car or whether they are connected to the Presba case.
According to Salt Lake City media outlets, the man taken into custody had three gunshot wounds and the woman had stab wounds to her arm.
“I would surmise that (detectives) would be going to meet with individuals surrounding yesterday’s events,” Golmitz said. “And whatever information they can glean from them in regard to last month’s incident.”
