A 19-year old student at Yeshiva University in New York disappeared, leaving his family and police baffled. Joshua Bender was last seen at the university on May 12. His parents and the police inspector in charge of the case spoke about the disappearance at a news conference at the campus. The Jewish community of Fair Lawn, N.J., Bender’s hometown, is planning to offer a $10,000 reward for his return.
