The New York Police Department launched a massive hunt Saturday in disappearance of Laura Garza – the Brooklyn beauty who vanished from nightclub Marquee at about 4 a.m. Wednesday with two men. Police officials scoured the upstate home of a registered sex offender, Michael Mele, suspected in the disappearance of Garza.

For hours, investigators pored through Mele’s Wallkill, N.Y. condo and the surrounding property. They had donned full-body suits and also sent a helicopter over the adjoining woods in a hunt for the victim.

According to the Newburgh Town police, Mele, 23, was added to the state sex offender registry in April after being convicted in Rockland County of forcible touching. He was sentenced to six years’ probation. He was in custody Saturday on a probation violation for drinking in the Manhattan nightclub where he met Laura Garza, 25, who arrived in New York from a south Texas town just five months ago.

The upmarket club’s video cameras captured Garza dancing and chatting with Mele for nearly an hour, before was seen leaving the club willingly with Mele and another man from upstate New York. Police described Garza as 5-feet-2 and 120 pounds, having brown hair and brown eyes.

Marquee spokeswoman, Virginia Lam, said the Chelsea club was working closely with police. In a statement on Sunday, Lam said: “Marquee has provided the police with valuable information and footage from our video surveillance system.”

While investigators were treating the case as a possible homicide, state police Capt. Wayne Olson said Saturday evening: “We certainly haven’t given up hope she is alive.”
