Today, Laurie J. Bennett, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Rex Rater, Chief of Police, Jamestown, New York, Police Department; and Joseph Gerace, Sheriff, Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office will present reward money to two citizens who located the remains of Yolanda Bindics.

Yolanda Bindics was last seen on August 10, 2004, at 8:20PM leaving her place of employment, the Family Dollar Store on Fluvanna Avenue in Jamestown, New York. She was reported missing the next morning. On the evening of August 11, 2004, her vehicle was discovered abandoned at the Arby's Restaurant on Fluvanna Avenue in Jamestown, New York, approximately one-half mile from the Family Dollar Store.

On September 10, 2006, David G. Morgan and Michelle K. Fauth were walking in a heavily forested area in Chautauqua County and discovered skeletal remains. Morgan and Fauth immediately notified the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office. This prompted a response by FBI Buffalo's Evidence Response Team and the Chautauqua County Forensic Identification Team. The remains were later positively identified as those of Yolanda Bindics.

Anyone with information about Yolanda Bindics' is encouraged to contact the FBI's Jamestown Office at (716) 484-7085 or the Jamestown, New York, Police Department's tip line at (716) 483-TIPS [8477].

This investigation continues.
