She promised her mother come back to Erie for her five children, ranging in age from 6 to 12. And then she was off with a thin man with the thin mustache whose name no one knew. The efforts over the years to find out what happened to her proved unsuccessful. It was Ms.

work that provided what appeared to be the biggest break in the missing person case. In July 2007, she contacted the Doe Network, an Internet-based volunteer clearinghouse of missing persons and unidentified bodies. The next day, the Doe Network reported a possible match with the female skeletal remains a farm laborer discovered in a drainage ditch along an interstate exit ramp in Colusa County, northwest of Sacramento. The remains offered Colusa County authorities no clues to the identity or how she died, although foul play was suspected. She became a and was buried in a local cemetery, forgotten for years until Ms.

personal data was entered on the Doe Network. The hair color, height and age all seemed to match that of Ms. Flickinger. And, most importantly, the remains had a metal plate screwed into bones of the right leg. Ms.

In the suit, Mr. Hicks said the officers shocked him a total of three times, even after they had secured his identification from his wallet and determined that he lived at the address. He also said that his daughter, niece and mother all came home just after the incident and that his mother also told police that he lived at the address. Even so, he said, the officers took him to their holding cell, where he sat for a few hours complaining of his injuries before they let him go.

Loverboy John WEITZMAN HARRIET REICH In 1970, as Harriet Weitzman was pulling into the driveway of her Squirrel Hill home, her new gold Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible was struck by another car.

While the mother of five exchanged information with the other driver, she learned he was an undergraduate drama student at Carnegie Mellon University, and, more important to her, Jewish. Her maternal instincts took over and she invited him and his girlfriend to her home for dinner. The invitation for a home-cooked meal typified Mrs. Weitzman's character, said one of her friends. "She was warm, very personable, good-humored, kind and considerate," said Miriam Schaffel of Oakland.

Mrs. Weitzman, who was stricken with Alzheimer's in her late 60s, died Friday, Aug. 22 at Shadyside Rehabilitation Center in Shadyside. Born on April 30, 1925, she lived to the age of 83. A native of Connellsville, Fayette County, Mrs.

Weitzman attended Colfax Elementary in Squirrel Hill. She was 12 when her parents, Aaron "Harry" Reich and Evelyn Goldstone Reich decided to move to Chicago, where relatives would help him find a job. En route to the Midwest, the family stopped for lunch in Warsaw, Indiana where young Harriet was attracted to the town's Center Lake and asked her parents if they could live there. Despite knowing no one in town, they agreed. The Reiches later owned a successful ladies clothing store there and lived in a home beside that lake.

Mrs. Weitzman was crowned senior queen at Warsaw High School. She began studies at the University of Pittsburgh School of Education in 1943 because her parents wanted her to join a Jewish sorority and meet nice Jewish Her lifelong love turned out to be Leonard Weitzman, a fellow Pitt student. After she earned a degree in physical education, they married in 1947. The couple lived in a Squirrel Hill apartment, then bought a home in Swissvale.

They returned to Squirrel Hill in 1960 and moved to a Shadyside condominium in 1978. Intially, Mrs. Weitzman taught physical education in Pittsburgh public schools and also coached high school swimming and basketball teams but gave up her career to raise five children, born between 1949 and 1959. "She was the most unselfish, sensitive and caring person I ever knew. She made everyone around her feel special, said her son, Mark Weitzman.

"She enjoyed being actively engaged in life. Whether with family, or her many close friends, she loved to laugh and have fun. Her family always came first. She was an adoring wife, a wonderful mother and a doting grandmother," he added. Between 1977 and 1979, Mrs.

Weitzman served as president of the sisterhood at Temple Rodef Shalom in Shadyside, a volunteer ob that entailed fund-raising, overseeing a gift shop and organizing luncheons and lectures. From 1986 through 1992, she served on the congregation's board. She also was a docent in the syngagogue's large biblical botanical garden. A member of the Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority, she served as national president of the Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority Foundation. She was secretary of the committee that established the Israel Heritage Nationality Classroom, which was dedicated in 1987 at Pitt's Cathedral of Learning.

Mrs. Weitzman loved to play golf and tennis and enjoyed swimming. She accompanied her husband all over the world on business trips to Africa, Australia, Asia, Fiji, Israel, Hawaii and Japan. A lover of music, she also traveled through the tri-state area to watch drum and bugle corps competitions. Besides her husband of 61 years, who lives in Shadyside, she is survived by three sons, Richard of Plum and his wife, Judith; Mark of Mt.

Lebanon and his wife, Marylynne; Steven of North Braddock; two daughters, Barbara Kelly of Kirtland, Ohio and Nancy Ann Weitzman of Shadyside. She was the grandmother of Aaron Weitzman, Ari Weitzman, Linda Weitzman, Daniel Weitzman, Eric Kelly and Hannah Kelly. She was the sister-in-law of Bernice (Max) Katz.
