As of Sunday night, police had no new information on missing Ball State University student Derek Brewington, university officials said.
Brewington, a senior, was last seen by his roommate around 11 a.m. on Jan. 27 in their FIJI fraternity house.
University officials said Friday that they had a strong lead on where Brewington might have gone.
Family and friends became concerned this week when they did not hear from him. Brewington's father called the University Police Department at 8:45 p.m. Wednesday to ask for help because he had not heard from his son since Saturday, the police report said.
Since then, police discovered 22-year-old Brewington sold his car, a white Buick Century with Missouri license plates, to an Indianapolis dealer. Someone at the dealership then gave him a ride to the train station, where he bought a train ticket to New York, university officials said. Whether Brewington boarded the train is unknown.
"There is no indication at this time that he was not acting on his own or that he was under any kind of duress," Kay Bales, vice president for Student Affairs, said on Friday. "We will continue to follow up on any leads that we find. Obviously we are always concerned about the health and safety of our students."
