SHE WANTS A DIVORCE AND ARREST

Rep. Enid Waldholtz filed for divorce Tuesday from her husband, who has been missing for three days and is under federal investigation for possible campaign financing improprieties.

``I can't begin to describe the anger and hurt over the incredible level of deception that we have uncovered in our own investigation of Joe's activities,'' the freshman Republican congresswoman said in a statement.

``I want this man tracked down, arrested and punished for what he has done to me, my family and the people of Utah,'' she said of her husband of two years.

Waldholtz asked a court to grant her sole custody of the couple's 21/2-month-old daughter. She also said she would ask for permission to restore her maiden name, Greene.

Joe Waldholtz is the focus of a federal investigation into the couple's finances that apparently began when the congressional credit union complained about large overdrafts.

As word of the investigation became public, a profile emerged of a man who convinced his wife he was worth millions, and spent borrowed money as though he were.

Police, congressional staffers and family members said Tuesday they had no idea where Joe Waldholtz went after he was last seen Saturday at National Airport near Washington, where his parked car was found.

Joe Waldholtz, until Saturday his wife's unpaid campaign treasurer, was not considered a fugitive, but Kevin Ohlson, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Eric Holder, confirmed he was under federal investigation.

A Justice Department source speaking on condition of anonymity said Tuesday that a federal arrest warrant likely will be issued, but it is at least a week away.
