National news

It seems very strange to see the name of the small town in which I live in the national news.  But there it is trending on facebook: Winona, MN.  A student has gone missing from St. Mary's University.  The police have the license plate of the vehicle, they know what time it happened, and  it's all on video.  With all of that information, why haven't they tracked down the owner of that Cadillac?  What aren't they telling us?  It wasn't even 24 hours after he went missing that the news came out.  Usually the police don't get involved until after the 24 hours has passed.  I hope that he is ok.  missing student ...update
