This article answers a couple of inquiries that have been posed e.g. whether ANY clues were discovered between "where he was last seen" and Reed Hall. Someone mentioned having thought they read that the search dogs found a short scent towards the railroad tracks (apparently not). Also, this article indicates NO communication after 1:32 am on 9-20-14 (what happened to snapchats?). Didn't TB's dorm-mate say he himself was out of town? It seems that no one else really noticed that TB was not around until the evening of 9-20-14, or atleast according to SM that is when it started being the biggest concern, or people started being questioned/contacted about his possible where-abouts.

The area where he was last seen (the 800 block of 14th St. N. in Fargo, a half mile from his dormitory) has been thoroughly searched by police and search dogs, but not a single clue has been discovered.
The last communication from his cell phone was to Mead at 1:32 a.m.
Bearsons family notified police Sunday because they were concerned he did not show up to visit his family that day, as expected. He told the family he would catch a ride from Fargo and leave about noon for the trip to Sartell. By 5:30 p.m. Sunday, he had not arrived, which alarmed the family.
