Police searching for student

Purdue University police are searching for a Purdue student who has been missing since early Saturday morning.\nWade S. Steffey, whose hometown is Bloomington, was reported missing Tuesday night after being last seen early Saturday morning at Phi Kappa Theta fraternity house, 900 David Ross Road in Lafayette, according to a press release.\nFlyers have been distributed around campus and a helicopter from the Indiana State Police has done an aerial survey of the area but has not found anything, said Capt. John Cox of the Purdue University Police Department. Dogs from the Porter County Sheriff's Department and Tippencanoe county have been trying to pick up the scent from clothes he previously wore, Cox said. Officers have also been searching on foot and the FBI and Secret Service have helped with the search, he said.\nCox said Steffey's phone and bank records were also subpoenaed. Steffey last used an ATM card at 1:11 a.m. Saturday at an ATM near his residence hall, he said.\nSteffey's parents and friends told police this was not normal for Steffey and that he is "an all-around good kid," Cox said.\nSteffey did not have a car on campus and his bike is still on the racks, he said.\n"He just wouldn't pick up and take off without telling someone," Cox said. \nThe 19-year-old freshman is white with short brown hair and brown eyes and is 5 feet, 10 inches and weighs about 150 pounds, according to the release. \nCox said a missing student on a college campus is not a common occurrence.\n"It's just way out of character for this young man, so we've allocated a lot of resources to it," he said.
