Any news on this? I have seen the stuff on the news that they believe she is in danger. Said her father came up to see her and bring some stuff and realized she had been missing. What a nightmare for a family. Also another reported sexual assault on campus. Tough few weeks for the new Chancellor as well. This missing girl reminds me of the Jeni Gray situation when I was at App. Hope and pray for a different ending this time.

The Parent Association sent out an email about this and other issues.

There is a webpage for updates, http://appstate.edu/missing-student/

There have also been some sexual assault issues on campus so there is a mandatory 9 pm meeting in residence halls about these issues.

The missing student was on the front page this morning of the Greensboro News and Record. The student is from High Point.

As the father of a female student, I am both a bit disturbed by this, but I also know the campus is being as proactive as possible.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Her family and friends were hanging out fliers at tailgate Saturday. It mentioned she liked to kayak and hike. Made it sound like she went out somewhere and never came back.

There were news vans on campus today for a press conference. The alleged sexual assault happened on 8/28 but was reported only recently.
