A Kentucky student has been missing for nearly a week after “never making it to class” — and “concerns for their safety” are increasing more and more with each day that passes since their disappearance.
Murry “Alexis” Foust, a 22-year-old student at Northern Kentucky University, was reported missing after they were last seen on Monday, April 27, according to the Covington Police Department.
“Concerns for their safety have arisen, and your input could be crucial,” Covington police wrote in a statement.
Foust was most recently spotted in surveillance photos walking in Latonia, carrying a bright yellow backpack and wearing a dark jacket, a t-shirt, patterned pants, and sneakers, according to images released by the department on Friday.
Foust remains missing as of Sunday, with friends urging the public to help search for the student who vanished after they “never made it to class.”
“Murry never made it to class and has been missing ever since,” close friend Charlie King wrote in a Facebook post.
“Murry’s car was found a block from their apartment in Latonia (Kenton County, Kentucky) off of Decoursey Ave. Their bag was located at NKU. The police have searched Murry’s apartment and found their cellphone,” King said.
“There is not a trace of Murry anywhere, and their friends, family, and one of my best friends, who is their partner, are all very worried. At this point, it is crucial we begin spreading the word and searching for them.”
King added that Foust was in “good spirits” before they went missing, though they take medication for documented mental health disorders.
“This behavior is unheard of for Murry, and we are all panicking,” King added. “Time is of the essence, and Murry’s friends and family are so, so worried.”
NKU said in a statement to The Post that the university is cooperating with police as the search for Foust stretches into its second week.
“Northern Kentucky University is aware that one of our students, Murry (Alexis) Foust, has been reported missing,” a university spokesperson said.
“We are deeply concerned, and our thoughts are with their family, friends, and all those impacted. The Covington Police Department is leading the investigation, and we are fully cooperating and supporting their efforts. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Covington Police.”
Foust is Caucasian with black-dyed shoulder-length hair, choppy bangs, and brown eyes, according to King.
They are 5’7 and have some tattoos, including a geometric striped pattern on their elbow, a ram skull on their upper arm, and a depiction of a crucified Jesus Christ on one of their shins.
Police are urging anyone with information on Foust’s disappearance to call 911 or 859-292-2234.
