The phenomenon has swept communities throughout the nation; it has sometimes been spurred by a local tragedy, sometimes by the many articles about missing children or the recent film Without a Trace, based loosely on the disappearance in 1979 of a New York City youngster, Etan Patz.

Even more bewildering is the suit, now being considered in New York State, brought by Etan Merrick against Producer David Merrick. They were married in 1969 and secretly divorced a month later, but then lived together until 1976. A New York court once denied her alimony for the years following her divorce, but her lawyer thinks that the precedent of the Marvin case may help her cause...
