An unidentified UTRGV faculty member who was reported missing on Oct. 11 has been found, according to the UTRGV Police Department.
The department’s Criminal Investigations Division received a phone call on Oct. 11 informing them a faculty member was missing.
“[The call] came in through family members, and then it went out to the dean and the provost,” said UTRGV Assistant Chief of Police Van Slusser. “We were then informed of the situation from there.”
According to University Police, the faculty member’s disappearance had already been reported to the Weslaco Police Department. An investigation was opened, and it was being treated as a missing person’s case.
The missing faculty member was later found, according to Slusser. UTRGV Police Department is not releasing the name of the faculty member at this time.
The Rider filed public information requests with the UTRGV Police Department and Weslaco Police Department Oct. 18 to obtain copies of the police report. The Rider will provide an update when the reports are released.
