Samuel Israel III, Convicted Hedge Fund Manager, Still Missing

June 11, 2008 -- A hedge-fund manager due to begin a 20-year prison stint for a $450 million fraud abandoned his SUV on a Hudson River bridge with "Suicide is Painless" written in dust on the hood - but authorities strongly suspect he tried to fake his death.

"We're not searching [the river] because it's widely presumed that he didn't jump," said a police source about Samuel Israel III, who was being sought by the FBI and US Marshals yesterday.
