Police Probe Ex-GOP Leader’s Vanishing

A millionaire developer who once led New Jersey’s Republican Party before being convicted of illegal fund-raising has disappeared, and police reportedly think he was kidnapped. Nelson Gross, 65, vanished Wednesday in Edgewater, law enforcement officials said. Gross was last seen driving his BMW with two men, sources told the Record of Hackensack. Then, the paper said, he withdrew $20,000 from the bank. The car was recovered in New York City, authorities said. Gross’ brother, Michael Gross, told the newspaper his brother is in “serious trouble.”
