No New Clues Found in Search for Long-Missing Brockton Teen

The search will move on to a nearby pond in September, said private investigator Phillip White.

The investigation recently turned up information that the teen had frequently visited the area of the park, White said.

White is part of the team of private investigators, working pro bono through the Molly Bish Foundation, who have interviewed dozens of people and conducted several searches for evidence in the area, with the assistance of state and Brockton police.

Search Under Way for Missing Hiker

A search and rescue team from Clackamas County is looking for a hiker who failed to come home after heading up to the Mount Hood area.

According to Lt. Jim Strovink with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, the hiker left home Monday morning, telling his wife that he would be home that night. When he didn't return, she filed a missing persons report with the Portland Police Bureau.

Strovink said deputies have searched several trailheads in the areas where the man may have parked his pickup, including Angel's Rest and Lolo Pass. No sign of the vehicle has been found.

Red Cross Offers Tracing Service to Find Missing Loved Ones

For decades, the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC) has been synonymous not only with organized efforts to ensure a steady supply of blood in the country to those who need it, but also with providing disaster and emergency response services.

Unknown to many, the PNRC is also actively involved in bringing together families separated by time, distance and circumstances. Under its tracing program, the agency has been reuniting families for years—free of charge—as part of its social work.

Private Funding of DNA Test in Missing Girl Case Refused

Two law enforcement agencies appear to have turned down offers to privately pay for and expedite DNA testing on an unidentifed Wisconsin girl who could be Everlyse Cabrera, a North Las Vegas foster child who disappeared in 2006.

In a Tuesday federal court hearing, attorney Dara Goldsmith, the court-appointed guardian for Everlyse, told Magistrate Judge Lawrence Leavitt that she was willing to use funds held in trust to bypass the public DNA testing backlog, which in Wisconsin is at least four months long.

That offer was extended to both North Las Vegas police and Green Bay, Wis., police, Goldsmith said.
