(AP) Missing for nearly two years, a Vermont teenager may have turned up at an Atlantic City casino, police said. On Jan. 17, surveillance cameras at Caesars Atlantic City Hotel Casino captured the image of a woman police say may be Brianna Maitland, 19, gambling next to a man. The video, taken from ceiling- mounted surveillance cameras, shows a dark-haired woman at a table game but her face is only partly visible. It was obtained from the casino after a man who lives near hometown returned from a trip to Atlantic City and contacted Vermont State Police, telling them he saw a woman who looked like Maitland at the casino.

That was on Jan. 19. The man, who knew of disappearance and what she looked like from fliers posted in Vermont, alert authorities on the scene. But he told Vermont State Police the number of the table where she was playing, the day and the time, and investigators contacted New Jersey State Police, according to Detective Lt. Brian Miller of the Vermont State Police, the chief investigator in the case.

The casino provided the footage, which was reviewed by Vermont investigators and parents, who said they believe it is her. Her mother, Kellie Maitland, said the movements of the hands and feet of the woman on the video remind her of her daughter, according to Detective John Donegan, a missing persons investigator with the New Jersey State Police.

Greg Moore, a spokesman for the state health department, identified the hospitals as Elliot and Catholic Medical Center in Manchester and Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital in Lebanon.

In the accident, a 15-passenger van rolled over at a bridge and 14 forest-worker passengers drowned. One passenger survived. Labor officials charged Evergreen and Smith with failing to provide safe transportation for the workers and failing to properly register the van, among other violations. Appeals were filed, but the department said that its administrative review board has upheld the penalty.

BRIEFLY Committee votes to let island secede AUGUSTA (AP) A legislative committee voted Wednesday in favor a bill to let Chebeague island separate from the town of Cumberland. The State and Local Government Committee voted 11-0, with two votes outstanding, for a bill authorizing the secession as of July 1, 2007. The matter still faces action by the House and Senate.

On the mainland, town council voted last month to adopt an agreement it forged with Great Chebeague and other islands to secede. Chebeague also would leave School Administrative District 51.
