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.

Sgt. Peterson says he received a phone call from Stacy on Sunday at 9 pm. But, no one else heard from her after a Sunday morning phone call with relatives. Now, Stacy’s family has asked the Illinois State Police to look into her disappearance since her husband is a cop with the local police.
UPDATE II: One Wife Dead & One Wife Gone
Three years ago, Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson’s ex-wife was found dead in her bathtub. It was, police said at the time, an accidental drowning.
But now, prosecutors plan to take a fresh look at Kathleen Savio’s death, as police investigate the disappearance of Peterson’s current wife, Stacy Ann Peterson.
UPDATE III: Missing wife wanted to get a divorce
Two days before she disappeared, the wife of a Bolingbrook police sergeant told her husband she wanted a divorce, the missing woman’s aunt said Thursday.
A day later, on Saturday, Stacy Peterson told her sister she feared for her life, said Suzan Robison, Stacy’s paternal aunt.
Sgt. Drew Peterson, Stacy’s husband, “was a very jealous, very controlling person,” Robison said. “He followed her. He tracked her with GPS on her cell phone, called her constantly.”
UPDATE IV: POLICE SEIZE EVIDENCE FROM PETERSON HOME
UPDATE V: Divers Search Pond Near Home of Suburban Chicago Cop in Missing Wife Probe
Divers were searching a retention pond Friday near the the home of a missing mother of two married to a Chicago police sergeant.
Police executed a search warrant Thursday and seized two vehicles from the Bolingbrook, Ill., home of Drew and Stacy Peterson in what is still being described as a missing persons case.
UPDATE VI: Husband of missing woman wears mask, glasses and hat as cops search residence
The bizarre behavior by the husband of missing Stacy Peterson makes one scratch their head. Seen here trying to disguise himself and remain anonymous from the media, yet he granted some media outlets in his home.
UPDATE VII: Search for Stacy Peterson November 3, 2007
UPDATE VIII: Wife’s e-mail shows troubled marriage
Friends and family of missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson vowed to continue their search today through a heavily wooded area near her home, while a recently uncovered e-mail sent by Peterson sheds new light on the troubled relationship between her and her cop husband in the days before her disappearance.
UPDATE IX: Coroner: Death of Illinois Officer’s 3rd Wife Should Have Been Ruled ‘Undetermined’
The death of the third wife of a police sergeant whose new spouse has been missing for more than a week should have been ruled “undetermined,” a county coroner said on Wednesday.
No charges were filed after a coroner’s jury ruled as accidental the death of Drew Peterson’s former wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in a bathtub in March 2004. Savio’s death is being reviewed since Peterson’s current wife, Stacy, went missing Oct. 29.

The plane carrying 63 year old Steve Fossett is missing. The man who has cheated death 
so many times with attempts to break aviation records in balloons is presently missing in his single engine plane. Searchers are looking in Nevada; however, Steve Fossett did not file a flight plan. It is hard to imagine after all the daring feats that Steve Fossett has attempted that he would be missing in a single engine plane.
The 63-year-old took off alone, with four full tanks of gas, in the small plane Monday morning from an airstrip at hotel magnate Barron Hilton’s Flying M Ranch.
He did not return as scheduled around noon, and a friend reported him missing Monday night, said Ian Gregor, an FAA spokesman.
Thirteen aircraft were doing grid searches over 7,500 square miles and were concentrating on an area of 600 square miles, said Maj. Cynthia S. Ryan of the Civil Air Patrol.
The search area is varied, ranging from high desert terrain with dry lake beds and sage brush, but also some rugged mountain peaks, she said. Gusty winds were hampering the search and could end up suspending the air search effort. (International Herald Tribune)

FAA: No sign since Monday flight scouting land speed record sites in Nevada
The 63-year-old took off alone at 8:45 a.m. Monday from an airstrip at hotel magnate Barron Hilton’s Flying M Ranch, about 70 miles southeast of Reno. A friend reported him missing when he didn’t return, authorities said.
Thirteen aircraft were searching for Fossett in addition to ground crews, said Maj. Cynthia S. Ryan of the Civil Air Patrol. The teams were doing “grid” searches over hundreds of square miles. (MSNBC)
UPDATE I: Search continues for aviation adventurer Steve Fossett
Fossett was flying in a single-engine, Citabria Super Decathlon — a plane capable of aerobatics — with tail number N240R, according to CAP. Fossett, though, had no parachute, which is required for aerobatics.
(Similar to this Citabria Super Decathlon)
There has been no sound detected from the plane’s emergency locator radio beacon, which goes off if there is a hard impact.
The aircraft, with serial number 635-80, was manufactured by Bellanca, and is registered to the Flying M Hunting Club Inc. in Yerington. (CNN)
UPDATE I:Fossett missing but no one believes he’s gone
UPDATE II: Rescuers’ fears grow for missing adventurer Steve Fossett
Fears for the missing adventurer Steve Fossett are growing tonight as rescuers continue to search in vain for his small plane that disappeared over mountainous desert on Monday.
His wife, Peggy, and his friends and relatives, were pinning their hopes on the grit and experience of the record-breaking aviator, the first man to circumnavigate the globe in a balloon.

Floyd Nelson, the father of the NBA Orlando Magic’s guard and former St Josephs 
University star Jameer Nelson, has been missing since Thursday. Floyd Nelson disappeared from his job on the Chester water front on the Delaware River. The 57 year old Nelson was last seen at about 10:30 am. He was supposed to rejoin a painting crew on a barge by noon. Floyd Nelson has not been seen nor heard from.
Authorities said they don’t know for sure if Floyd Nelson fell into the Delaware River but Chester’s police commissioner said a multi-jurisdictional search effort will continue.
According to officials, Nelson disappeared near the waterfront at Front Street and Highland Avenue. Jameer Nelson arrived at the search scene Friday morning as divers, the U.S. Coast Guard and trained dogs continued to look for the missing man
Chester’s lead detective said some of Floyd Nelson’s personal items were found in a barge where he was assisting a painting crew.
“His car is in the lot, keys in the lounge with lunch and medication. He has high blood pressure,” Captain Joseph Massi, of Chester detectives, said. (NBC 10)
UPDATE I: Water search ends for Jameer’s father
After two days of combing the river bottom with divers and grappling hooks, police called off the water search yesterday afternoon and declared Nelson’s disappearance a missing-person’s case.
Divers couldn’t “see their hand in front of their face” as the search for Nelson entered its second day, Massi said. It ended at around 4 p.m. with no evidence indicating that he had fallen into the water while working at Hays Tug & Launch Service.
“We promised the family we would look until there was no reason to look any further, and we’ve reached that,” said Chester Fire Commissioner James Johnson.
“Hopefully, no news is good news,” he said.
If anyone has any information on Floyd “Pete” Nelson’s whereabouts is asked to call Chester detectives at 610-447-7908.

Liza Murphy, 42, has been missing since August 19, 2007. Her husband, Joseph Murphy, told police that his wife left their home after they had an argument on Sunday. Liza Murphy has not been seen from since. Liza Murphy reportedly left with only the clothes she was wearing, no cell phone, no money, no wallet. Authorities were planning to search the Oradell Reservoir in Emerson, NJ.
The case of missing Liza Murphy has become more suspect as Liza’s husband, Joseph Murphy, apparently tried to kill himself by stepping into traffic. Now don’t we all wonder what would cause Mr. Murphy to try an kill himself and then clam up after the failed suicide attempt?
The search for 42-year-old Liza Murphy, of Emerson, took place as Joseph Murphy recovered at Hackensack University Medical Center, a day after authorities say he stepped into traffic in nearby Westwood.
Joseph Murphy suffered a broken pelvis and other injuries after the self-employed painter was hit by a fire department car. He previously stepped in front of a bus and a Lexus before the fire official’s cruiser hit him, Emerson Police Chief Michael Saudino said.
Since the accident, Joseph Murphy has been uncooperative with detectives questioning him at a hospital intensive care unit, Saudino said. (NJ.com)
Search for Emerson mom expands
Authorities grew increasingly pessimistic Friday as they stepped up their search for a missing Emerson mother.
“To be honest, it doesn’t look good at this point,” Emerson Police Chief Michael Saudino said Friday afternoon. “I find it strange that she hasn’t tried to contact her children, let them know that Mom is OK.”

Mindy Schloss, a 52 year old nurse is missing in Anchorage, Alaska. 
She has been missing since Sunday, August 5, 2007 when she missed a flight. Mindy Schloss was a psychiatric nurse who was always punctual for appointments. The nature of her job draws into mind that is it possible a patient may be responsible for her disappearance or was it a random act? Police do suspect foul play.
Description:
- 52-year old white female
- 5-feet, 7-inches tall
- brown hair
- gray-blue eyes
Schloss missed her Sunday flight out of Anchorage and failed to show up for any of her scheduled appointments after that, Shell said.
Schloss is a member of the local Neighborhood Watch in the Raspberry Road area. She drives a 2000 red Acura Integra hatchback, license plate DVP231, which apparently is also missing.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Anchorage Police Department at 786-8500. Or contact Anchorage Crime Stoppers.
UPDATE I: Missing Nurse, Mindy Schloss’ car found
Police in Alaska have located the vehicle of missing Mindy Schloss near the Anchorage airport. The police suspect foul play in her disappearance.
Detectives say that they suspect foul play in the disappearance of an Anchorage woman, now missing for a week. Her car was found yesterday, on Thursday, near the airport and today, on Friday, her friend is speaking out.
Friends of Mindy Schloss say her disappearance is not in her character and believe that something’s gone wrong. Anchorage Police found Schloss’s red Acura Integra near the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. It was parked on Old International Airport road, near the Alaska Airlines Cargo Loading area.
Detectives on this case suspect foul play and are searching her car for clues or anything that might tell them where she is. (ABC Alaska News)
UPDATE II: ATM image may be clue in nurse’s disappearance
Photo courtesy of Anchorage Police Department
Anchorage police want to talk to a man caught on an ATM camera early Sunday morning on the weekend Mindy Schloss vanished.
Police released a photo of the man Monday. They were careful not to call him a suspect and asked the public to help identify him.
Police spokesman Paul Honeman also said investigators plan to widen the search for Schloss to the Seward Highway south of Anchorage near Mile 113, where the body of a 37-year-old man was found alongside the road early on Aug. 14. Police have so far refused to say how the man, Nickline Percy Noatak, died, only that his death is “suspicious.” (Anchorage Daily News)
Police say ATM user connected to missing nurse
In the ATM video, he is wearing a dark blue or black bandana and dark colored jacket. He also is possibly wearing a backpack. Though only partial features of his face can be seen, police hope it’s enough for someone to determine who he is. Police aren’t saying if he was using Schloss’ bank card.
They also suggest he may not be the only person of interest in the case. (KTUU)
