BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 6 (UPI) -- An Indiana University student has been missing since Friday, Bloomington police said Monday.

Sgt. Jeff Canada said the search for junior Lauren Spierer is continuing but gave no details, reported the Indiana Daily Student, the college newspaper.

Dean of Students Harold Goldsmith said maintenance workers were searching all campus buildings and grounds.
