Alcohol may be a factor in the disappearance of a 19-year-old Iowa State
University student who has been missing since Saturday, campus officials said
today.
Abel M. Bolanos was at an off-campus party before he disappeared and was
consuming alcohol, said Eugene Deisinger, who is with ISU police. Deisinger
said he didn’t know how much alcohol may have been consumed.
Bolanos last was seen at about 4 a.m., leaving an apartment at 208 South
Hyland St. He was walking south. Officials said his friends and family members
have not seen him since then.
University officials said Bolanos may have been in the Wallace Wilson complex
area about 4:30 a.m.
Law enforcement officers have conducted a search without result.
Bolanos is a white male, 5 feet 7 inches, 165 pounds, with brown hair. He has
the words "Ancora Imparo" as a tattoo on his upper right arm. Bolanos was last
seen wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and brown shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to call Iowa State University police at 515-2944428.
