Report of a missing student
Police were given notice of a missing student on Thursday, Feb. 27. The police were told that the student lived in Lawrence, took the K-10 express bus to and from school and was last seen in the food court. A second resident at the house informed the police that the student hadn’t arrived at his designated time.
The same occupant of the house called the K-10 express, questioning whether the person had rode the bus that day, and in turn, the bus company released information that a person resembling the missing student had been spotted, though the identification was not positive.
Police searched the campus as Food Service was directed to determine if the student had used his debit card to make any purchases. Both tasks achieved no results. Eventually, while campus police continued to search the college, the secondary resident contacted the police to say that the victim had taken a later bus but had finally arrived to his destination.
