A Senate subcommittee remains unable to solve the mysterious disappearance of the Murphy garbage can. The can disappeared after being left curbside late on a Sunday night in August in preparation for a Monday garbage pick-up. A stunned Tara reported the can missing early Monday. "I was shocked and dismayed to discover it gone," she said. "We had grown quite fond of that receptacle."

Only after a new can was procured was the missing can returned. No indication of the can's past whereabouts could be obtained.
