My DD and DS attend Clearview Highschool where John graduated from last year. My daughter knows his sister, they are both freshman. I also know John's brother and sister from when I worked in the school. Very nice kids. This is such horrible news. It's almost like there is a curse on the Clearview school. This has been a terrible year for students there. Since the beginning of the school year we have had two students die in car accidents and another in a car crash but thankfully he survived. Now this. I just read about the case again today in the Gloucester County Times. It doesn't sound good, but lets just hope he is found safe.

No news as of this morning. There was speculation from the students (some say that they talked to a maintenance worker) that blood was discovered in one of the trash chutes from that dorm. It doesn't look good. My thoughts and prayers are with this family.

They were checking the trash bins (dumpsters) when they got to the third they found blood. Then they went to check the trash chutes. Yes, doesn't sound good.

You probably know my DD's college roommate, too, since she went to Clearview and graduated last year with John. Not that I'm going to post her name, of course.

I so hope that they find out some news soon. This must be so heartbreaking for his family and friends. I can't even imagine, nor do I want to, having a child that age in her first year away at college.

This story is s o upsetting to me. DD almost went to school here and alot of local kids do go there. Hugs to you who know him and prayers for his family.
There is alot of local coverage and the talk radio station did alot on it yesterday with college students calling in. It doesn't sound good. I was hoping he met some cute girl and spent the weekend at her place. I heard that there were rumours of a girl with a jealous bf.
I have three college kids. Scares the heck out of me. Also the fact that a college kid could be missing for a couple days before their roomates realized it.

No security cameras in the dorm entrances? I just cant imagine what took place. Do they think someone assaulted him? I hate to even think this but there is a lake right there on campus too.

That's the dorm my niece lived in. Praying he's ok.

I have a friend that works at TCNJ. I saw her when I went to pick the kids up from school. She told me, now its really just a rumor, that the police feel it may be gang related. She said the off campus frat houses have had some trouble with gangs coming around and robbing the kids as part of an initiation. It made me feel sick to my stomach. I hope to God this is not true. She also told me that what the students were saying about blood being found in the dumpster is true.

I'm praying for those parents - what they must be going through is almost unbearable.

Police ID his blood found in the dumpster

EWING, NJ-March 30, 2006 - Some disturbing developments in the search for a missing college student Thursday. Action News has learned that the blood found in a dumpster on campus is in fact Fiocco's blood.

Investigators spent another day at Wolfe Hall, the College of New Jersey's freshman dorm, where Sewell resident John Fiocco Jr. was last seen earlier Saturday morning after a night of drinking.
State Police used special cameras to examine a trash chute in the building and Thursday afternoon removed a garbage dumpster on the back of a flatbed truck to be examined for possible evidence.

Last night hundreds of students were ordered to leave Wolfe Hall while investigators searched with tracking dogs. Sources say law enforcement is treating Fiocco's mysterious disappearance as a possible homicide.

School officials are e-mailing students with daily updates, meanwhile some local residents have brought their own dogs to aid in the search. Students on the Ewing campus are clearly concerned.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Thursday morning, John Fiocco's dorm had been searched from "top to bottom," said state police Sgt. Stephen Jones, who added that authorities planned to search other locations on the campus of about 7,000 students near Trenton.
Fiocco, 19, was last seen at 3 a.m. Saturday in his dormitory, said Mercer County Prosecutor Joseph L. Bocchini Jr. Friends said the freshman form of Mantua Township had been at an off-campus party and appeared to have been drunk but otherwise seemed fine. His roommate reported him missing about 36 hours later, a college spokesman said.

Authorities on Wednesday night removed students from Fiocco's dormitory for a three-hour sweep of the 10-story, 400-unit building, state police said. All the residents were being interviewed, officials said.

"One of the major things was to be absolutely, positively sure we scoured that entire building," state police Capt. Al Della Fave said.

Bocchini said his office executed several search warrants Tuesday and Wednesday, concentrating on Fiocco's dorm. The prosecutor said the investigation was being treated as a missing person's case.

But by Wednesday, the state police's Major Crimes Unit, which handles kidnappings and homicides, was involved in the investigation.

The anxiety on campus prompted school President R. Barbara Gitenstein to send an e-mail to students Wednesday, cautioning them not to jump to conclusions.

"There is a great deal we do not yet know, and making reckless assumptions will only exacerbate the stress, sadness, and fear that have gripped our campus," Gitenstein said.

Fiocco graduated from Clearview Regional High School in Harrison Township, where he played football and was track team captain.

"I never met a human being in my life who didn't like this kid," Clearview track coach Dennis Weaver told The Times of Trenton for Thursday's newspapers.

State police Maj. James Fallon said authorities have communicated with Fiocco's family, and that he has no history of running away or avoiding friends or relatives. The family did not immediately return a message seeking comment Thursday morning.

Is it true that the blood in the dumpster was tested and it was his? That's what my DD is telling me, who's college roommate went to HS with him.

[Patty3]

This is so sad.

 

[luvwinnie]

There are MISSING POSTERS with his photo on them on 8th Ave. in NYC. This new development is very disheartening.

 

[Tracey1974]

They kept talking about how he may have gone to NYC- his parents were there looking for him. I hope he is ok- this is a terrible story!

 

[blondewithbrains]

That's awful.
