MIDDLEBURY, Vt.—A $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the safe return of missing Middlebury College Freshman Nicholas Garza.
Middlebury Police say a foundation put up $5,000 and Nicholas's mother Natalie contributed another $15,000.
The 19-year-old Nicholas Garza of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was last seen on campus Feb. 5.
Police say they've tracked his movements up until Garza disappeared. After that Chief Thomas Hanley says it's like a switch was turned off.
Heavy snow began falling shortly after Garza was last seen. Hanley says searchers have used ground-penetrating radar, but it's still possible searchers missed Garza's body.
