Myslinski, a retired teacher, had been missing since before Christmas. His car was found in the Delaware River near Easton in Northampton County. Numerous searches of the river in the Lehigh Valley did not find Myslinski’s body.

After some conflicting information, it was determined that Myslinski was last seen checking on a friend on December 22 at Chandler Hall in Newtown.
Police said that Myslinski was “weak and in poor health” at the time of his disappearance.
Myslinski ’s body was pulled from the river by firefighters off the shore in the Edgely section of Bristol Township and took more than a week to identify.
