ASU Missing Student ( Body found in Salt River-with one red shoe on ) Jack Culolias

Missing ASU student Jack Culolias was last seen leaving Cadillac Ranch in Tempe, Arizona on November 30; a search for him around the area turned up a single shoe, which was later proven by DNA tests to be his. Now, a body found in the Salt River is believed to be that of Culolias, and investigators are trying to determine whether foul play was involved.

Culolias was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at ASU and had attended a party sponsored by the frat at Cadillac Ranch the night he disappeared. However, he was kicked out after it was discovered he had a fake I.D. (Culolias was 19), and the last his friends knew, he was walking away from the bar towards a taxi. Interestingly, the body was found not far from where the shoe was originally found, which is proving to be confusing for officials.
After an initial exhaustive search for the college student, his stepmother expressed concern that someone from his fraternity knew what had happened and were too scared to come forward.
“I think someone knows something and they’re just not talking,” Renae Culolias said.
For now, the coroner is working to positively identify the body, which was found with one red shoe but was not immediately recognizable because of extended exposure to the water. Investigators are now trying to determine whether Culolias was served alcohol in the bar before he was kicked out; if so, the bar owners could face criminal charges.

THE parents of a missing 11-year-old girl say they are petrified for her safety, as she has a tendency to get into cars with strangers.

Samantha Norman has not been seen since Thursday afternoon, when she walked into a strangers’ house in Fairfield and asked to use the telephone.
The young girl, who is due to finish Year 5 next week, called her mother to ask for a relative’s address in the Campbelltown area, but never made it there.
Her mother and father, Ben and Carol, said they had "hit the panic button" because although she has been known to run away in the past, she always makes contact.
"She has autism, and if she doesn’t take her medication she doesn't foresee possible danger," Ben said.
"She will get into cars with strangers or she will go to a stranger’s house."

Samantha, who is very tall for her age at approximately 170cm, has long blonde hair and blue eyes.
Her parents think she was wearing a white singlet and blue shorts when she was last seen. She has no mobile phone or access to money, and is without her medication, heightening her family’s fears.
"This is as bad as it gets, we are petrified and we just want her back safely," Ben said.
Police said they checked a Campbelltown address that Samantha was likely heading too, but she had never arrived.
It is possible she could be heading to the Barrack Heights, Eagle Vale, Cambridge Park or Warilla areas, and her parents begged the public to keep and eye out and contact police.
Anyone who sees Samantha is urged to call Triple-0.
