Investigator finds missing

missing story 11-year-old girl who took off, with a 15-year-old girlfriend,

children

More than 40 cases were solved during Maxwell's tenure with Childfind, a'70-per-cent success rate that his boss des- eribed as phenomenal.

“Colin simply has a remarkable talent as an investi- gator,” said Patricia Foster, tr Peident of Childfind Canada. “It'll be hard to replace him.

: TYPES Maxwell says his cases fall into three categories:

from her home north of Toronto after an with her parents.

A few days later, Maxwell says, the girl called a couple of her friends and said: “I’m in a Lincoln Continental talking to you from a car phone right now. I'm fine and we're having a great time.”

“This guy had picked them up right away north of Toronto,” says Maxwell. “It was 12 o'clock at night and they were hitchhiking. Stupid, eh, or what?~——

“He picked them up and took them to his place. He took them out drinking, got their hair |, gave them 20 bucks each a night to go out and catcli’a movie, let them smoke, let they stay out all hours. They thought they were in heaven.”

Maxwell says he found the two girls several days later at a fast-food restaurant in downtown Toronto. They said they weren't molested — a stroke of good fortune as far as he's concerned.

“When I got to them, I figure it was about three or four days before it was pay day — time to pay back.”

which are almost always sexually motivated; runaways; and the most common, parental kid- nappings.

Last May, he drew national attention after closing a case in which a woman ran away with an 11-year-old boy from Lethbridge, Alta. The woman had developed an attachment for the boy while she, her husband and family were given shelter by the boy's mother.

“This guy from the Alberta office calls and says: ‘T've got an abduction, we'll send it down to you, see what you can do with it.’ And he almost laughed, as if nothing could be done with it.”

In six days, Maxwell says, he traced the woman and boy toa down-and-out motel on Toronto's sleazy lakeshore strip. They had niade their way across the country thumbing rides from truck drivers.

Maxwell refuses to say how he found the two. “I just used my own sources.”

LEARN SKILLS

Maxwell does say that his skills were honed at earlier jobs where he worked as a skip tracer and as an investigator for other firms.

He shifted to missing-children work after his brother noticed a newspaper story about a woman from Burlington, Ont., who hadn't seen her children since they were taken by her husband four years earlier. Maxwell says it look him 30 days to close the case.

However, not all his cases wind down to a sweet con- clusion. There's the one he dropped voluntarily after a client, described as a Houston multimillionaire, wanted to bring in some heavy artillery to snatch his kids from his estranged wife.

“He wanted me to find out where his wife was staying because he was going to land a helicopter with six commandos in the backyard, use whatever force was necessary, then fly them to Niagara Falls, NY, where they have a jet waiting to fly them back to Houston.”

Maxwell's latest project is setting up an investigation firm with operations in both Canada and the United States.

found

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Scientists are trying to figure out what kinds of hea- venly body they’ve discov- ered orbiting a star 46 light years from Earth.

“The thing is big but hot; whatever it is, it’s not a star,” said Ben Zuckerman, an as- tronomy professor at the University of California at Los Angeles, who outlined the discovery Tuesday dur- ing the 19th annual meeting of American Astronomical Society's Division of Plan- etary Sciences.

“We think the most likely explanation of what we found is a brown dwarf — a planet- like object roughly the size of Jupiter (but larger) and with twice the surface tempera. ture of Venus,” he said.

It’s only the 10th planet: like object known in the uni. verse besides the nine plan. ets in-our solar system. That's despite a scientific effort to discover planets outside our solar system.

Zuckerman said the brown dwarf is a gaseous body that is not a star but is larger than any known planet.

He says calls streamed into his office at the group's Ontario headquarters in Oakville, just west of Toronto.

Aged need

CALGARY (CP) — The policies and practices which have appeared appropriate for the current group of older Canadians may not apply as well to their Baby Boomer successors, a social psychol- ogist said at the annual con- ference of the Canadian As- sociation on Gerontology.

“We must remind our- selves that each new cohort of aged persons brings with it different capabilities, life his tories and goals for living,” said Carol Ryff of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin.

Ryff singled out educa- tional opportunities for an aging population as an ex- ample.

“Certainly our universities have been opened to more diverse age groups and special educational programs have been designed specifi- cally for aged learners such as Elderhostels.”

As well, she said, edu- cational fees have also been

reduced or eliminated’ for older persons at some uni- versities.

“Still, these gains are a far cry from making the aged an integral part of our centres of learning. For this to happen, we must rethink basic edu- cational goals and ob- jectives.”

Ryff said the purpose of education must be seen as an essential ingredient to mean- ingful living.

NEED LEARNING

“In short, the pursuit of knowledge must be restored as an end in itself and one that has particular signifi. cance for the quality of life in old age.”

In keeping with the con- ference theme of aging with

excellence, Ryff said much of the past research into posi- tive aging has been negative based on basic definitions of well being.

“My argument has been that the research needed more elevated standards of positive functioning and higher expectations of what is possible in old age.”

Ryff said that the basic question is the extent to which our cultural preoccu- pation with old age as loss pervades thinking about how to meet the needs of our elders.

“This question is particu- larly relevant for practition- ers who work directly with old people suffering from im-

mediate physical, social and psychological problems.”

Ryff said “it might appear” that the previously held cri- teria of positive functioning such as self-acceptance, posi- tive relations with others, autonomy, purpose in life and personal growth” are some- what fanciful to them.

“On the contrary, I would argue that the need for op- timism and elevated stan- dards is even more critical in realms where the aged and their caretakers face per- vasive difficulties.”

The Canadian Association on Gerontology is a national scientific and educational group established to provide leadership in matters re- lating to aging.
