"Please help us find my brother," Marivelle Bolanos said during a media briefing outside Wallace Hall, where Bolanos lived. "This not like him at all, so we are very concerned. He has not been in touch with his friends, not his co-workers, not his family." Marivelle Bolanos arrived on campus Sunday from Illinois.

Bolanos, age 19, was last seen at approximately 4:00 to 4:30 a.m. on March 31. He was leaving an apartment at 208 South Hyland and walking south on Hyland.
