Mother Of Four Missing

On August 10, 2004, 25-year-old Yolanda Bindics left work in Jamestown, New York -- and vanished.  

Yolanda, a mother of four, was last seen sitting in her car, talking on her cellphone in the parking lot of the Family Dollar Store where she worked, after locking the shop up for the night. She told her brother, who was watching her four daughters - ages one, three, five and eight - that she was stopping on the way home to buy milk. The brother became concerned when he hadn't heard from her. The next day, August 11th, police discovered Yolanda's car two blocks from the Family Dollar store, at a local fast food restaurant.

About a week after Yolanda's disappearance, investigators said a Jamestown police officer was placed on administrative leave after admitting to having a relationship with Yolanda. The officer, whose name was not released, will remain on leave until investigators can determine the nature of that relationship.

Dozens of volunteers, family members and friends have searched parts of Jamestown to no avail. Police have labeled her disappearance suspicious, and are looking for any clues to her whereabouts.
