Search underway for missing Princeton University student
PRINCETON, N.J. (CBS) – Wednesday afternoon, there is an increased police presence at Princeton University in connection with an investigation into a missing student. Investigators searched Lake Carnegie Wednesday morning.
20-year-old Misrach Ewunetie was last seen at around 3 a.m. Friday, near Scully Hall.
Police are using drones and helicopters to find the woman.
The Princeton Police Department has asked the public to avoid the area of Washington and Faculty Roads.
One student says he finds the situation disturbing.
"It is hard to believe that it could happen here," Noah Rawlings, a student, said. "It seems like an extremely safe campus. In the beginning of fall break, there's still lots of activity, lots of students on campus."
Police describe Ewunetieas as 4-foot-4, 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
