Police are still searching for Eridania Rodriguez, who was last seen at a Financial District office building on Tuesday night, but they have also brought the search to a Pennsylvania landfill. According to the Daily News, Rodriguez was part of 2 Rector Street's cleaning crew and her cleaning cart was left abandoned on the 8th floor. Newsday reports that detectives are sifting the landfill where garbage from 2 Rector Street was taken: "Among those questioned about her disappearance are a DOT worker who had worked in the same building and appeared to be following her and a freight elevator operator with an arrest record, police sources said." Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said, "We have reason to fear the worst. That's the theory that we are operating on, that something untoward happened to Mrs. Rodriguez inside the building." The police, who are also searching the building for a third time, are asking for the public's help: Call 1-800-577-TIPS or send a text message to "CRIMES," (274637), then enter "TIP577".
