Search for Missing B'klyn Woman Continues in Orange Co.
NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) -- The search for a New York City woman missing since early December has been partially suspended due to snow cover.
Investigators say Laura Garza met convicted Rockland sex offender Michael Mele's at a Manhattan nightclub.
The 25-year-old Brooklyn woman was last seen Dec. 3 with Mele in Newburgh, about 60 miles north of New York City. Police say Mele is a person of interest but hasn't been charged in Garza's disappearance.
Mele, a 23-year-old sandwich-shop owner from the town of Wallkill, has been held in jail on probation violation charges since Dec. 6.
On Thursday, state police suspended a search planned for this weekend in Sullivan County due to snow.
A renewed search in parts of Orange County will continue as scheduled tomorrow with about 200 police and volunteer firefighters.
