U of Mass Amherst is a nationally ranked public research university…a top notch school to say the least – they are ranked 106th for Best Colleges and Universities in the US News and World Report for 2010- where’s the news?
hhhmmmm.. seems like the last few missing girls that were college students got major national media attention. THis is the first i’m hearing about this young man and I’m from Mass and know kids that go there…. smh!
I happen to know his family VERY well and trust me when I say this is no joke Honey! He’s not from Mass he is from CT and it is all over here. You not knowing doesn’t make it a publicity stunt so if you wouldn’t mind, have some respect for the family. Thank you much
