Gone missing in New York

"Each year hundreds of New Yorkers disappear under mysterious circumstances never to be heard from again, with their families and loved ones waiting painfully--sometimes as years crawl by--for some word of what happened to them. This book explores this painful epidemic by highlighting individual stories of th e missing and their families; among them a 22-month-old baby and a noted judge. Sections include unidentified missing human remains found in New York State, investigation procedures, and the pros and cons of hiring a private detective or a psychic."--P. [4] of cover.
