Gerald Smith Jr., a Senior at Indiana State University in Terre Haute Indiana, went missing last Friday (05/01/09).
Gerald is 22 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, approximately 160 pounds, light to medium brown hair - cut short, brown eyes and has a light shadowed beard.
He was seen at a local bar called "Ballyhoo", and was escorted out that establishment around midnight by a bouncer.
A witness has come forward to say that they had seen a man fitting Gerald's description talking with a couple (a man and a woman) who were in a gold Toyota Camry or similar vehicle after he left Ballyhoo, and that after a brief conversation they all went their separate ways.
University Police are continuing their search for the couple, the vehicle and searching the Wabash river as photos on the web seem to indicate that he was seen near a bridge at the river's location.
