STOCKTON, CA - Stockton Police investigate the strange disappearance of a city newcomer.

Dalene Carlson, 23, was last seen leaving Finnegan's Pub on Pacific Avenue shortly after 1 a.m. on Sunday.

Carlson arrived to the pub with a group of friends, but surveillance video outside the pub shows Carlson walking off-screen and she hasn't been seen since.

"She didn't call and she always calls to say she's going to be late," Carlson's aunt Margret Baker said.

Carlson had been living with Baker's family since June. Baker said she moved to Stockton from Idaho to start a new life.

"She doesn't do stuff like this," Baker said. "We're more or less here just waiting for something - any lead. Anything."

Baker and her brother passed out flyers of Carlson throughout most of Stockton Wednesday.

Carlson made friends through her cousin, Cesilee Baker, and was a regular customer at Finnegan's Pub.

STOCKTON, CA - Stockton Police Chief Blair Ulring will not be getting a $25,000 pay raise.

Stockton City Council members voted 4 to 3 rejecting a proposal to increase Ulring's salary to off-set benefit concessions the chief made earlier this year.

"Intelligence tells me we should do this, but my principles say this sends the wrong message to the people," Council member Dale Fritchen said about his no-vote.

City manager Bob Deis proposed the base salary increase for the police chief as an incentive to keep Ulring from retiring. Deis said during his presentation that Stockton pays its police chief less than other same-sized cities and to bring a new chief in from outside would end up costing the city significantly more money.

"To me, this is not a raise," Deis said.

Deis said the $25,000 added to the salary would still not equal what the chief previously made prior to concessions.

Sitting next to police scanners, I hear all sorts of calls every day, and all day.  This was a first early Tuesday morning when someone called police to report a dog in the street with it's "eyeball popping out".  We're hoping the dog was rescued and is recovering. And it's probably best there is no picture to go with this edition of  "every day it's something new."
