FARGO (KFGO-AM) -- Fargo Police are taking charge of the investigation into missing NDSU student Thomas Bearson.
The freshman from Sartell, Minnesota was last seen at a party early Sat. morning.
Lt. Joel Vettel says neighborhoods around the campus will be thoroughly searched and the fire department will conduct what Vettel calls a cursory search of the river for any sign of Bearson.
At this point, the public has not been asked to take part in any search for Bearson, a nursing student.
Vettel says police invite information that anyone may have on the whereabouts of Bearson, but he cautions about the use of social media to spread potential misinformation.
