Disappearance of Exxon official continuing to baffle authorities by Charles Strum the new York times Morris township . Where is Sidney j. Reso the Short answer is no one who is looking for him has the slightest idea. In the six weeks since the Exxon official disappeared from the driveway of his Home Here Law enforcement officials say that almost nothing is known about now he vanished and Why or who May be holding him and where. Because so Little is known the Morris county prosecutors office and the Fri have continued to classify his disappearance As a miss Reso ing person Case not a kidnapping. A we done to have any Concrete proof that he is in the hands of any group or individual a said Lois Ferguson a spokeswoman for the prosecutor w. Michael Murphy or. A we have no photo graph no voice recording. Before you have a motive you have to have an occurrence. So we can to speculate As to a neither Murphy a office nor the Fri is suggesting that Reso a Well liked 57-Ycar-old executive who was by All accounts the Model of a company Man got fed up with the american dream and swapped it for a secluded foreign Beach and a new identity. A to Date we have yet to uncover anything to suggest that Reso disappeared voluntarily a said William Tonkin an Fri spokesman in Newark. But the authorities and officials at Exxon International in Flor Ham Park where Reso served As president since 1988, would not comment on details of the investigation. After a flurry of publicity almost a month ago including a televised plea from Resos wife Patricia for his Safe return nothing More has emerged from official or family representatives. They cited concern that speaking publicly might somehow jeopardize the Prospect of r sons Safe return although none suggested that there had been any warn Ings from terrorists kidnappers or anyone else. However experts in Law enforcement counter terrorism and Security who have been following the Reso Case say they do not believe that terrorism or political motives Are involved. A this is not a terrorist act or one that is politically or corporately directed a said Gerald Walpin a former assistant . Attorney in Manhattan who is now head of litigation for Rosenman amp Colin a Manhattan Law firm. Quot otherwise the kidnappers would certainly have created publicity for Walpin who As a government lawyer once investigated the bogus kidnapping of the elderly crime Boss Joseph Bonan no Drew no conclusions tin what actually happened. Quot there Are three alternatives and no Way of being certain Quot he said. A one is that it was a self created fiction for whatever purpose he had. Second that it was a kidnapping that got botched very quickly. And the third is that it was a kidnapping and that Ransom requests have been made and in order to protect him there has been total residents shelling Rowdy yuppies new York a the Yolks on the yuppies a literally.
