Turning off comments on this. I don't have time to babysit facebook commenters in search of attention for being mean, clever or cruel.
Vermont is a small state. Everyone has friends, family and acquaintances in many corners of the state. That's why this information is shared here.
No, I am not covering this as a reporter in Waterbury. Hopefully other news outlets closer to it will have good coverage -The Middlebury Campus (student newspaper) is doing a good job right now. Vermont State Police, FBI, NY State Police and other agencies are involved in the search today. There is a briefing at 3 p.m. in Middlebury. Look for coverage from that later today and tomorrow on other Vermont news sites.
As a parent, I know this is at the top of the list of worst nightmares of any parent of a college student. Our thoughts are with Lia's family and friends, hoping for a positive outcome to the search.
