A body has been found during the search for a missing Vermont college student who was last seen on campus nearly a week ago.
Lia Smith, 21, was last seen on Middlebury College’s campus on the night of Oct. 19 and was reported missing that Sunday, the school posted on Facebook.
On Thursday, the Vermont State Police and rescue crews found a body around 1:30 p.m. in a field just west of the Middlebury College campus, the Middlebury Police Department announced.
“It’s heartbreaking news, and we’re doing all we can to support our community right now.”
