Case Story |

Parents Plead For Missing Child To Return Home |
|
| |
Manny Vargas, a 10-year-old fifth grader, was really upset about his school progress report, according to his family. So upset, says his parents, that he ran away from home and set off a massive search on the evening of Monday, October 17, 2005 involving police dogs and several hundred people.
His family says he was in his room but apparently left through a bedroom window. The Sayreville Upper Elementary School pupil was reported missing around 7:30 p.m. Monday by his family.
While several hundred emergency-response workers continued to search into the evening yesterday, Manny's parents were visibly shaken. Manuel and Dawn Vargas pleaded for their child to return home during a brief news conference at the Sayreville Police Department.
"If you're out there, we're not mad at you," said Manny's father. "We want you to come home."
"We miss him, love him," Manny's mom said in between sobs. "Please come home safe."
The couple said running away is not like Manny, who, they said, is "very responsible" and is an honor roll student and athlete.
"He was upset about getting the school progress report . . . and he took off and ran," Manuel Vargas said. |

Multiple Jurisdictions Joined Search |
|
| |
A short distance away on Washington Road, authorities headquartered the search effort at the Sayreville Emergency Squad. Emergency-response officials from borough, regional, county and state agencies combed the woods near the family's home and elsewhere in the borough. State Police K-9 units joined in while at least one helicopter searched from the sky.
Yellow school buses from the Sayreville school district ferried first aiders, firefighters, police, state Department of Corrections and other emergency-response officials to numerous sections of Sayreville.
Borough police said a smaller search with rescue dogs was held Monday night with assistance from the Union County Sheriff's Department and Manalapan Police Department. |

Searchers Volunteer Their Time |
|
| |
Kenneth Kelly, a Sayreville police detective, said a number of emergency-response searchers yesterday were volunteering their time. Kelly said there has not been such a search in the borough in at least 10 years.
"We have tons of people out looking," Dr. Frank Alfano, Sayreville superintendent of schools, said yesterday afternoon. "Keep your fingers crossed and keep praying."
