Missing from Action
</hdr><body>
<p>The eerie disappearance of an Exxon executive greases the rumor
mill
</p>
<p> In the Tony Enclave of Morris Township, N.J., reality is a
$700,000 house perched on acres of shady lawn, and crime is a
plot device in a P.D. James novel. Recently, though, the
disappearance of one of Morris Township's most respected
citizens has brought in a gust of the world outside. Sidney
Reso, the 57-year-old president of Exxon International,
vanished, his car left idling at the end of his driveway, as he
headed for work on the morning of April 29, and no one has seen
him since.
</p>
<p> In the midst of an intensive police investigation, Exxon
announced last week that it would offer a "substantial reward"
for information leading to the executive's safe return. There
are no allegations that Reso, a stable family man who has spent
holidays working behind soup-kitchen counters, is off on a scam
of his own. "There's nothing to indicate a voluntary
disappearance," said a spokeswoman in the Morris County
prosecutor's office. Law-enforcement officials indirectly
acknowledged receipt of a ransom note after the New York Post
reported that a letter claiming responsibility for Reso's
abduction had been issued by a group called the Rainbow
Warriors. The name Rainbow Warrior belongs to a Greenpeace ship
destroyed by the French government in 1985. Greenpeace, an
international environmental group, vehemently denies any
involvement in the Reso incident. Investigators are uncertain
that the note is anything other than a prank, and they are
remaining tight-lipped on the details of the case.
