Ervis Mecollari, 21, disappeared from his Waterbury, Connecticut residence after a last confirmed sighting on December 20, 2008. He was described as a white male, about 6 feet 1 inch and 190 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Mecollari lived downstairs from 85-year-old Laura Orso.

On the same day Mecollari vanished, Orso was found in her apartment, stabbed 37 times. Investigators identified Mecollari as a person of interest and say DNA from a toothbrush in his home linked him to the crime scene. Reports say he had been harassing Orso and that she had feared him enough to consider moving. Mecollari bought a bus ticket to Florida but is believed to have disembarked in New York City and never arrived in Florida.

Detectives traveled to Albania during the search; Mecollari is described as an Albanian immigrant with a criminal record there and is reportedly on Albania’s Most Wanted List. A reward has been posted and his whereabouts remain unknown. Does anyone have information about Mecollari’s movements around December 20, 2008, or contacts in Albania who might know his whereabouts?
