5'7" and 97 lbs??????? Can you say majorly skinny??? She would definitely be someone you'd notice....I sure hope they find her safe.

Thank-you for posting this. I will keep watching for updates.

I occasionally have trouble with missing person threads because neither the new thread and the news articles linked mention what state the missing person lived? Where is Jamestown?

Search for Missing Jamestown Mom Continues
August 15, 2004

It's been four days since a 25-year old Jamestown mother of four disappeared. Saturday, police continued to look for her.

Police in Jamestown conceded Saturday that they still have no clues as to what happened to Yolanda Bindics since she disappeared Tuesday night.

“This isn't like her,” said Nicole Berg, a co-worker of Bindics. “Her kids are everything. And ya know, it's just really hard here right now because she just disappeared.”

Friends, family and neighbors still have hope the 25-year old missing mother of four will be found soon. Berg, a friend and co-worker, hopes that somehow, somewhere, Yolanda Bindics, is alive and well and maybe watching.

“We love you, Yolanda and we really want to know what's going on,” said Bindics. “And our hearts are with you.”

Yolanda Bindics was last seen at the dollar store when she worked Tuesday night. She never came home. Saturday, four days later, law enforcement conducted an all-out search. Police divers checked the local river, a helicopter ran a grid search and canines were used at a local landfill.

But still no luck and no clues into Bindics disappearance.

“It happens all too often, it really does and it's important to understand your kids or your loved ones can go missing in an instant,” said Sgt. James Oleniacz of the Jamestown Police.

Dean Reithel, an ex-boyfriend and father of one of Bindic's children, has the difficult task of explaining the disappearance to their daughter.

“She's two years-old,” said Reithel. “She's asked where mommy is. I just break down and just tell her, 'mommy will be back’ and she goes off and play.”

And many are hoping Yolanda Bindics will be back soon. Sunday, friends plan to launch a community search starting at 11 a.m.

If you have any information, please call Jamestown police at 483-7537.

Here is the video link as well.

I hope Dean Reithel is being thoroughly questioned as well as the father or fathers of her other children. One of them is likely to be involved.

Hello. This is my first post to this site. I think it is great how everybody works to get the names and faces of missing persons out there.

I first heard about Yolanda's disappearance on a parenting forum that I am a member of. She is a good friend of another member on that board.

Fot some reason, I could not let Yolanda's story go after first hearing about it. I check this site as well as googling her name every morning in hopes that she has been found.

It has been 1 week and 1 day since Yolanda disappeared. I was unable to find a website in her name that followed the search for her. So I have built one myself. My friend at the parenting board has been made aware of the sites availability.

If any of Yolanda's family or friends read this, please know that I am donating the site to the search for Yolanda and her family as well as my time and efforts to keep he site updated with any news.

Yolanda's site can be found at www.freewebs.com/findyolanda

May Yolanda be reunited with her family and friends.

You did a good job on this page for Yolanda. I will put a link for Yolanda on Carrie's site. I hope she is found safe shortly.

That was a really nice thing to do, Spotted1. :clap:

A Jamestown Police Officer has been placed on administrative leave in connection with the case of a missing woman.

Channel 2 News has learned the officer had a relationship with 25-year-old Yolanda Bindics who has been missing since the evening of August 10.

Oh, man, this doesn't sound good. I hope they find her safe soon but this doesn't sound promising. They wouldn't put the guy on administrative leave for just having had a relationship with her, would they? Would it be a conflict of interest kind of thing or do you think he's a person of interest/suspect??

The police are saying that there are no suspects because, as of yet, there is not a crime. I think that the administrative leave is simply to protect the integrity of the investigation. If Bindics has had as many relationships as the media are making it out to be, it would not be good to have a police officer, who was in a romantic relationship with her, questioning her former lovers.

I think it is a matter of the force trying to protect the case and bring Bindics home.

There was another search effort on Thursday for Yolanda near the Jamestown Plaza where her car was found on August 11th, 2004. Still no clues and still no Yolanda. More links to news articles added to her website as well as new pictures that have been made available.

Does anybody know if printable flyers are available anywhere for Yolanda? Thanks!

If there is no printable flyer for Yolanda anywhere yet, I can make one, but I do need to know all the pertinent identification data first. Do you have all of that?
