BOYS STILL MISSING

Police are continuing their search for two teenage boys who were last seen Thursday, police spokesman Larry Hill reported.

One of the boys, 16-year-old Adam Wese, of the 800 block of Little Bay Ave., was last seen at a bus stop near his home Thursday afternoon. Police were not certain whether the boys are runaways. The other boy's name still has not been released.

Police had found no clues in either case Monday.

They were looking for any possible ties to the boys' disappearance and the recent arrest of self-proclaimed ``vampire'' Jon C. Bush of Virginia Beach, who allegedly led a clan that stemmed from a fantasy role-playing game.

Bush, 26, was taken into custody Wednesday and is being held in Virginia Beach without bail. Police said he enticed boys from several schools in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake to take part in his vampire ``family.''

The missing boys apparently had an interest in the occult, Hill said. But police did not have any evidence to connect them to Bush, he said.

``We're looking into the possibility,'' Hill said Monday. ``However we have no indication there are ties at all.''

Wese is described as white, 6 feet, 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing blue bell-bottom pants and an olive-green sweatshirt.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Line at 664-4040. ILLUSTRATION: Photo
