12/12/07 MISSING DENISE HART, missing since November
Hart is described as a black woman with black hair and brown eyes, around 5 feet 7 and weighing approximately 145 pounds. Anyone who has seen her or been contacted by her is asked to call Schenectady Police at 518 382-5263
SCHENECTADY -- Investigators trying to determine what happened to a nurse who disappeared last month removed a large box of bagged evidence from her apartment on Thursday.
Denise Hart's relatives and her employer say they are baffled by her disappearance.
"I don't think she would abandon her job like that," one relative said.
A person familiar with the investigation said officers first visited the scene Nov. 28, and found the mattress missing. Neighbors reportedly told police they had heard an argument coming from the apartment sometime in the last few weeks, but it was unclear when it happened.
Police remained outside Hart's apartment this morning and evidence technicians spent several hours there.
Officers announced on Tuesday that they were looking for Hart, a 43-year-old resident of the Wade Lupe Townhouses, was last seen around 7 a.m. on November 11 as she was leaving a group home for developmentally disabled adults where she worked as a licensed practical nurse.
"I really hope she's OK and she comes back safely," said her husband, Robert L. Hart. The two have been separated for around two years, but Robert has custody of their 6-year-old daughter. "We really would like her in her daughter's life."
Officers from the crime scene recovery unit removed a large box of bagged evidence from Denise's apartment Thursday. Law enforcement officials said the house was being processed as a crime scene, but the case remains classified as a missing person.
