Police are searching for a 21-year-old Marshall University student who has been missing since Friday.

Leah N. Hickman last talked with her mother, Sherry Russell, of Leon, early Friday afternoon. Her family, which expected her home for the holiday break, became concerned after she did not report to work at the Dress Barn on Saturday or Sunday.

Huntington Police Sgt. John Williams says Hickman's car, purse, coat, keys and packed bags were found at the apartment she shared with her older sister.

Hickman's family has posted fliers in neighborhoods, restaurants and service stations from Huntington to South Point, Ohio.

Hickman is a junior at Marshall, majoring in journalism. She is described as a five-foot-four white female, about 125 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.
