PHILADELPHIA (CBS)—Authorities at the University of Maryland College Park are searching for a missing woman with New Jersey ties who was last seen on November 10, CBS Baltimore reports.
Campus police released security footage of 21-year-old Kaitlyn George leaving her dorm around 4:42 p.m. last week at Allegany Hall, with a camping style backpack and a pink bag.
Footage shows Kaitlyn getting into a white taxi cab in front of Annapolis Hall by herself on her own accord.
Campus police say Kaitlyn was scheduled to meet a friend around 5 p.m. at the university's recreation center to go on a hiking trip. When Kaitlyn did not show up, her friend came to the police station to report her missing.
