Boston Police report they're seeking the public's help in finding William Hurley, 24, who hasn't been seen or heard from since leaving Boston Garden after the Bruins game on Thursday:

The missing male left the Bruins game with two of his friends and was waiting in the area of 99 Nashua Street for his girlfriend to pick him up. Shortly before her arrival, they had a phone conversation and he informed her that his phone's battery was going low and he would wait for her. His girlfriend arrived but could not locate him. Officers were informed that the missing male failed to show up to work the following day at the Weston Country Club where he works as a greens keeper.

He's described as 5'8", 155 pounds, thin build with blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearingwhite Nike sneakers, bluejeans, a green T-shirt and a red Northface jacket.

On Oct. 4, 2007, Carlos Ortez, a millworker from Quincy, was in Yonkers, NY on a work project. That night, he and a co-worker went down to a bar in the Ramada where they were staying to watch the Sox play the Angels in the playoffs. A pair of locals in the bar began to harass them, at one point impugning Ortez's Boston loyalties. Ortez says he complained to the barkeepers, who did nothing. When the two workers left, the locals jumped them and, Ortez charges, beat him so severely he still suffers permanent pain and faces additional facial reconstructive surgery.

One of the locals was found guilty of attacking Ortez. The suit seeks damages against the hotel, the bar and the bartenders for failing to prevent or stop the attack.

Ortez's complaint.

The Supreme Judicial Court today threw out tapes of a jail discussion in which a man arrested on suspicion of murder allegedly told acquaintances to hide evidence from investigators, saying State Police had no evidence beforehand he was engaged in a criminal conspiracy.
