NEW YORK (CNN) -- After arguing with her husband, Liza Murphy walked out of their home in Emerson, New Jersey, leaving behind her purse, her cigarettes, her cell phone and her three children, her husband told police. There has been no sign of her since August 19, 2007.


Liza Murphy has been missing from her home in Emerson, New Jersey, since August 19, 2007.

Murphy's friends and family reported her missing the next day.

"In my heart, I fear the worst, that my daughter is gone," said her mother, Sophia Stellatos.

Police searched extensively for Murphy, especially around a reservoir not far from her home, but they found nothing. Cadaver dogs caught her scent near the George Washington Bridge, but the trail went cold, police told the family.

Deepening the mystery, her husband, Joe Murphy, tried to take his own life a few days after his wife disappeared by walking into oncoming traffic and throwing himself in front of a fire truck, police say.

He was hospitalized and recovered from his injuries, but police say he hired a lawyer and is no longer cooperating with investigators.

Missing Teacher Is Found, Alive, Floating in New York Bay

Missing Teacher Is Found, Alive, Floating in New York Bay
By AL BAKER
Published: September 16, 2008
Almost three weeks after she was reported missing, a young teacher was spotted floating in New York’s Upper Bay on Tuesday and was rescued by deckhands from a Staten Island ferry.


The teacher, Hannah Upp, 23, was plucked from the swells, taken ashore and transported to Richmond University Medical Center on Staten Island, where officials said she was in stable condition.

The disappearance of Ms. Upp, a New York City teaching fellow set to begin her second year as a Spanish instructor at Thurgood Marshall Middle School in Harlem, baffled her relatives and friends and touched off a citywide search. The teachers’ union offered a $10,000 reward for information.

After she vanished — on Aug. 29, just before the start of the school year — investigators found her keys, credit cards, wallet, cellphone and passport among her other belongings in her apartment in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. She is believed to have last withdrawn money from her bank account on Aug. 28.
