Raymond Power had been missing for more than seven months -- and although AMW.COM had profiled him, not a single tip had come in. That was until Feb. 13, 2006, when the first and only tip to AMW proved to be the one that reunited former police officer Raymond Power with his family.

Family Man Vanishes On Way To Work

Raymond Power Jr. had the picture perfect life. But on Aug. 1, 2005 he vanished, leaving his friends and family very concerned. At age 56, Raymond had it all -- he is described by family members as a devoted father and loving family man. Raymond was also devoted to his community in New Rochelle, NY. Before his disappearance, the former policeman had spent his free time volunteering at a local church and with the local Boy Scout group.

But on the morning of Aug. 1, 2005, he was never heard from again. Police say they believe he headed to work at about 3:30 a.m. on Monday. They say it wasn't unusual for the lawyer to leave for work before the crack of dawn. Police also say it looks like he made it to work, but aren't sure what happened after that.

Surveillance video shows his 1994 white Ford Taurus pulling into his parking spot at the South Broadway garage in White Plains, NY. Police say the video doesn't reveal if Raymond was behind the wheel or not but say the vehicle didn't stay there for long. Investigators say the vehicle left the garage around 4 a.m.

Police Say Missing Man Could Be Westward Bound

Police managed to track Power's credit card and traced it to several service stations in both Pennsylvania and Ohio. The card was used to make gasoline purchases at stations in Loganton, Pennsylvania; Mantua, Ohio and South Vienna, Ohio.

However, police say there has not been any new credit card activitiy and say his cell phone is not working. Investigators hope anyone with information about Powers will come forward. They are concerned for his safety.

A Man's Personal Mission


Imagine being homeless and wandering the streets, but having no idea who you are or where you came from. That was the life of a man who called himself Jay Tower for nearly seven months -- until another man at his shelter dedicated himself to finding answers for his new-found friend, and uncovered the truth.

Four months ago, Jay Tower showed up at the Pacific Garden Mission shelter in Chicago without any concept of his own identity or past. Tower, who was known at the shelter for being extraordinarily kind and caring, would often break down and cry out of frustration because of his amnesia.

While at the shelter, police say another homeless man, Ron Fitzgerald, befriended Tower -- and made it his personal mission to help his friend uncover his past.


AMW Helps Reunite Family


Police say the truth was uncovered when Fitzgerald went to the Chicago Public Library on Feb. 13, 2006 and logged onto AMW.COM. There, he saw the photo of a man named Raymond Power, a former police officer and successful lawyer with a loving wife and family who had gone missing in August 2005. Fitzgerald immediately realized that Jay Tower was actually Ray Power, and contacted AMW.

Immediately, police in New Rochelle, N.Y. and Chicago jumped on the tip. Fingerprints confirmed Power's true identity, and his family flew to Chicago to be reunited with the man they thought they'd never see again. Police say Power is now undergoing evaluations as they try to determine how he got to Chicago from New York -- but his family is simply grateful that he's alive.
