The search for a missing Marshall student hits the one-week mark and police are reporting no real leads.

Friends and family members of 21-year-old Leah Hickman haven't seen or heard from her since last Friday.

Hickman's keys, purse, car and the bags she'd packed to go to visit her parents in the Point Pleasant area were all found at her Huntington apartment, and there was no evidence of a struggle there.

Police Sergeant John Williams says the last known contact with Hickman was a cell phone conversation she had with a friend Friday afternoon.

Williams says the journalism student is described as a very responsible person and isn't the type to just run away.

Hickman's neighborhood has been searched and area sex offenders have been questioned, but no evidence has turned up.

Williams says a few tips have trickled in but it's too early to tell if there's anything concrete.

Anyone with any information about Hickman is urged to call police. The five-foot-two white female has blue eyes and shoulder-length brown hair and weighs about 130 pounds.
