Cops are appealing for help from the public in Kentucky to locate a missing college student who has not been seen since last week.
A student at Northern Kentucky University (NKU) School of the Arts, Murry 'Alexis' Foust, 22, was last seen on Monday, April 27, according to a statement posted by the Covington Police Department (CPD) on social media.
In surveillance photographs shared by the CPD on Instagram, Foust is seen wearing a dark-colored jacket and T-shirt, loose-fitting patterned pants, black sneakers, and a yellow backpack.
The post’s caption said: “We are still actively searching for the missing person, Murry (Alexis) Foust.
"These photos are from the most recent surveillance footage we have found. They were last seen in the area of the Latonia neighborhood of Covington."
The student is described as five feet and seven inches tall, with brown eyes and dyed-black, shoulder-length hair.
According to a Facebook post shared by friend Charlie King, they have some tattoos, including “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.”
As "Murry has never done this, and was in good spirits before they went missing", their friends are growing increasingly concerned that the 22-year-old is in danger.
In a desperate plea for help, King wrote, “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.”
The statement also disclosed that “Murry was last seen going to NKU (Northern Kentucky University) from OTR (Over the Rhine, Cincinnati, Ohio) Monday evening at 5:30 PM (04-27-2026). Murry never made it to class and has been missing ever since.”
King’s statement also claimed that their missing friend's “car was found a block from their apartment in Latonia (Kenton County, Kentucky) off of Decoursey Ave. Their bag was located at NKU.”
Foust’s cellphone was also allegedly found at their apartment by police, although officials have not publicly confirmed these details.
Corey Best, chief of communications at NKU, said in a statement to Fox 19, “Northern Kentucky University is aware that one of our students, Alexis 'Murry' Foust, has been reported missing.
“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.”
The CPD is asking anyone with information about Foust’s whereabouts to call 911 or 859-292-2234.
