Police search for missing 19-year-old Snow College student last seen leaving dorm

Police are searching for a Snow College student who hasn’t been seen since she left her dorm late Monday.

Security footage shows who officers believe is Madelyn Allen, 19, leaving the residence halls at 9:22 p.m., according to a post from police at the central Utah school. The building is located at 155 E. College Avenue in Ephraim.

The college has released a still image from the video, showing the back of a young woman with long, strawberry-blond hair in a braid. She is wearing a white fleece jacket and a dark skirt and carrying a plastic bag.

Snow College police are working with state and local law enforcement, as well as the FBI. Anyone with information about Allen’s whereabouts or who saw anything suspicious in the area may call 435-283-7170.

Marci Larsen, the school’s spokesperson, said Allen’s roommates first reported her missing when they were concerned that she didn’t return by the next day.

Finals at the school run through the end of this week, before most students go home at the end of the semester. Larsen said Allen hasn’t completed with exams yet, and police don’t believe that Allen was trying to go home, given that she wasn’t carrying a duffel bag or other luggage.

Allen’s parents live in northern Salt Lake County and told police they haven’t seen their daughter. Larsen said they are currently in Ephraim searing for their daughter.

“They’re very worried,” Larsen said.

Police are trying to track Allen’s phone records, the spokesperson added, to see if that will help locate her. For now, the circumstances are considered suspicious.

The school has released Allen’s student ID picture, which shows the young woman with slightly darker hair, blue-green eyes and freckles. She is currently in her first semester at Snow College, Larsen believes.

The school has sent out an alert to all students and faculty. In a post Tuesday, it asked for “everyone’s support as we work to locate Madelyn.”
