Page 2-Thursday, September 14, 1978-The Michigan Daily MISSING STUDENT Gold's parents haven't given up search By JOHN SINEVICS It has been nearly three months since Adela Gold last heard from her daughter. The Ann Arbor Police Depar- tment has all but given up its in- vestigation of Beverly Gold's disap- pearance and the posters which once dotted the kiosks around campus asking for any clues indicating her whereabouts have been torn down or covered up. But her parents- have not given up hope. "We're always hopeful," said Adela., Gold, "but we don't know what to do anymore. We've been working with the Pinkerton detective agency for over a month now, and they haven't been able to come up with anything yet." BEVERLY GOLD, 21, a junior in the University's literary college, left her apartment at 935 South Division on June 16 and has been missing since. She was wearing only light clothing and left all personal belongings behind.bThe former East Quad resident is about 5- foot-4, has brown hair and hazel eyes, and was wearing a blue t-shirt the day she disappeared. Whether Gold was abducted or simply left of her own free will is a matter of speculation. Detective Charles Ferguson, the of- ficer in charge of the investigation, was reluctant to engage in such speculation. "The only time I have a hunch is if I have any evidence to back it up," said Ferguson. "And we don't have any evidence at all." Ferguson said the case is baffling for two reasons. First, there is no reason to suspect any foul play, and second, it would not have been characteristic of her behavior to leave on her own. "The trail for us begins and ends in her living room," said Ferguson. ADELA GOLD agreed that there was no reason for her daughter to leave so suddenly. "I don't think this was plan- ned on her part, because she took nothing with her from the apartment," Beverly's mother stated. "She never had any undue pressure from us, and she was always free to do anything she wanted." Her former roommate, Judith Sch- wartz, said Gold was not depressed, but that there could have been personal reasons for her sudden departure. "You can say that I personally dont think she was abducted," said Schwartz, "but that's only my opinion." Schwartz said that Gold was a fairly independent per- son and could "handle herself very well alone." Schwartz, also expressed misgivings on the way the media have handled the Gold story. "The media have tried to sensationalize her disappearance by distorting some things I've said," she stated, "and I don't like that." ADELA GOLD, however, said that she wants to keep the public aware of her daughter's disappearance in any way possible. "We hope that she won't be forgotten," she said, "and maybe writing about it and publicizing it will do some good." The Gold family has been actively in- volved in an attempt to find persons who might have clues to the case. Adela Gold spent many days this summer put- ting up flyers around the city which asked for help from anyone who might have seen her daughter. The family was also responsible for sending photographs of Beverly to law enfor- cement agencies around the state and in the Toledo area since a claim was made earlier' in the summer that Beverly had been spotted there. Detective Ferguson said that family and media involvement has not been a hindrance, though no helpful evidence a' " ChPVGdprocssor M COPYING* TYPING * PRINTING rQ Ul a. as GUILD HOUSE NOON LUNCHEON Soup 8 Sandwich 50C FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 "Panel Discussion of the National Organizing Conference to Stop Government Spying" to be held in Ann Arbor, MI September 22, 23, 24, 1978 at GUILD HOUSE-802 Monroe HAVE YOU GOT YOUR 10% DISCOUNT CARD?

"It's just changed the way we normally han- dle tips and phone calls," said Ferguson. "We got a lot of wierd ones." Beverly Gold's disappearance has been a traumatic experience for the en- tire family. "We've taken it pretty badly," said Adela Gold. "We just can't seem to talk to each other any more; we just cry.'~ The Ann Arbor Police Department still considers the Gold case "oen but is no longer actively investigating it because of the lack of evidence. The Gold family, however, is still hopeful that something will turn up. "We've got to keep the investigation going," said Adela Gold, "because I'm sure she's alive." a -'- -_ EZMED'S FULL SERVICE-QUALITY-FAST AND FRIENDLY 114 E.
