Ball State FIJI Brother Missing

Student Missing Since Saturday

Ball State FIJI senior Derek Brewington dissappeared Saturday morning from the university, but police now have new evidence in his whereabouts.

Brewington was last seen at the Phi Gamma Delta house where he lives last weekend. His friends and family have not heard from him since Saturday, and are becoming increasingly concerned.

New leads in the case were discovered this week when police said they found that Brewington sold his car to an Indianapolis dealership and then bought a train ticket to New York.

Reports say the FIJI mentioned last week of possibly taking a train trip to New York during spring break, but didnt say anything else. Friends say he did take his laptop, razor, and some clothes with his, but neglected to bring his cell phone charger. All calls to his cell phone have gone directly to his voicemail.

"We were at a friend's house drinking," said a close friend of Brewington, "and we didn't come together and we didn't leave together. I just saw him there." His roommate said he did not sleep in his room the night prior to his dissappearance.

"Pretty much our biggest theory is that he just left," his roommate said, mentioning that he was very eccentric and left to possibly do his own thing for a few days to clear his mind.
