Jailed man claims involvement in 2 old cases
September 14, 2006

Kingston —- A Kingston man in his 50s has confessed involvement in two decade-old missing persons cases. The man is currently in Ulster County Jail on other charges, police said.
The man's name has not been released and police would not say which local missing persons cases the man claims involvement in. Police also would not say whether the man was jailed on violent charges or a drug-related offense.

"The man said he had some involvement. We want to do this carefully through a thorough follow-up on these leads," Detective Lt. Ron Dreiser of the Ulster County Sheriff's Office said.

Unsolved missing persons cases in the Ulster County area more than a decade old include the disappearance of a young mother with multiple sclerosis, Laura Smith Williams, of Connelly in 1994, teen Joseph Patrick Martin, of Accord, in 1996, and Cindy Loretta Rowles, of Kingston, in 1986.

There are lso two unidentified bodies. One was of a middle aged man found alongside a highway in Saugerties in 1970 and the body of a middle aged woman found off Lucas Avenue in Accord in 1985.

"I can say that the cases involved were not those of the two unidentified bodies, since remains have not been found," District Attorney Don Williams said.
