Missing teen Nicholas Gochnour ...

Teen's Disappearance Has OC Police On Alert
By STACEY KAISER -- WMDT 6/20/2006
"It's kind of scary because, I mean, I guess you don't
really realize it whenever you're out having fun, or
whatever, that it could happen to people like us, I
mean here."Allison Battaglia is talking about the
recent disappearance of Nicholas Gochnour and
high school graduate Natalee Holloway who's
been missing for one year now.
Battaglia and her friends are in Ocean City for
senior week and say they're doing their best to
be responsible and stay safe.
"We're all going to college, so it's kind of like if you
don't learn now, when are you going to learn, ya
know?"
Deborah Todd, a mother of two teens, agrees there
is not much you can do to protect these young adults.
"Well, you can't be there every second. You have
to sort of tell them to watch out where they're
going. Keep their eye around themselves;
don't go around blind and talking and not paying
attention to what's going on around you,"
Todd said.
Todd's 16-year-old daughter says despite the
risk, she can't wait for her senior week.
"It's like what everyone talks about, a lot of our
seniors, so I'll be excited when I'm a senior, I
can talk about it and have fun at the beach...
I'll be careful though," Heather Todd said.
If you have any information on Nicholas Gochnour
or his whereabouts, contact Ocean City Police
at 410-723-6610.
