Blagg departs Grand Junction; wife, daughter still missing

GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO - Michael Blagg has left this western Colorado city, six months after his wife and daughter disappeared from their home. <br> <br> Mesa County sheriff&#39;s investigators believe Blagg is moving to Warner Robins, Ga., 120 miles southeast of Atlanta, where his mother lives. Blagg has refused to say where he was moving. <br> <br> ``You can be assured that we&#39;re going to want to know where he winds up,&#39;&#39; Lt. Stan Hilkey said. ``It&#39;ll be our job to make sure we know wherever he goes.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Blagg reported his wife, Jennifer and their 6-year-old daughter, Abby, missing when he returned home from work Nov. 13 and found a large pool of blood in the master bedroom. A massive search involving hundreds of people turned up no sign of them. <br> <br> Sheriff&#39;s investigators are spending the next few weeks searching an area of the Mesa County landfill where household trash was dumped when the two disappeared. <br> <br> Blagg was unable to find work after he was fired from Ametek-Dixson in February for reportedly stealing office furniture and equipment. He has never been charged with the crime. <br> <br> Investigators questioned Blagg for 10 hours Feb. 5 about the stolen items and about the disappearance of Jennifer and Abby. He attempted suicide the next day and spent nearly a week in St. Mary&#39;s Hospital recovering from his injuries. <br> <br> Blagg has said he had nothing to do with his wife&#39;s and daughter&#39;s disappearance.
