| Young man goes missing along with 25 million dollars in cash. |
The man that had held them hostage was an alleged bank robber who was
a major suspect in the deaths of at least 4 people a few weeks earlier. Police
had suspected De Luca of stealing the tidy sum of 25 million in unmarked bills
and were hot on his trail the night in question. De Luca was being chased by
police that night and had hid in a tree house in the backyard of Zach Mallery's
parents. Thats when Zach and Jacob were held hostage.
After they escaped from De Luca's clutches, the police looked for the 25
million dollars that De Luca had stolen those weeks earlier. The kids were
questioned but not much information was found out and it was believed the
money would never be found.
Ten years later, the two boys graduated high school and life was just
beginning for them. Then Zach went on a weekend trip and was never heard
from again. A few weeks later, police had received a lead that Zach had
chartered a plane to Africa. The cost of the charter was said to have totaled
over $100,000 dollars. Not an easy sum for an 18 year old man to acquire.
Police deduced that Zach had either found De Luca's lost cash, or someone
else had and wanted to make it look like Zach found it. Police are still
investigating and ask if anyone has any leads, to please contact them
immediately. A reward is being offered for Zach's safe return.

It has been 3 months now since anyone has heard
from Zach Mallery. Perhaps some of you remember
him from 10 years ago when the story broke about how
he and his childhood friend Jacob Dole, were held
hostage at knife point one night in their backyard
treehouse by Antonio De Luca. It was lucky that night,
they escaped with their lives, although not completely
unharmed as we all remember what happened to poor
Jacob.
