Times Online article today: "Jonny Dorey, 22, from Guernsey, was last seen in a surveillance video shortly after 11am on March 2 wheeling his mountain bike away from the campus of the Virginia Commonwealth University, where he had just attended a lecture.
The last time Mr Dorey used his mobile telephone was also that morning, as was the last purchase he is known to have made using credit cards, at a 7-Eleven shop.
His parents, Alan and Debbie, have travelled from Guernsey with their youngest son Simon to join the search effort and the university has offered a $5,000 (£3,300) reward for information leading to the discovery of Mr Dorey.
His friends have spread the word of his disappearance on YouTube and with a Facebook group Help Find Jonny Dorey that now has more than 19,000 members. Yet police appear to be no closer to finding Mr Dorey than they were on March 4, when his disappearance was first reported.
The search today, in rainy conditions, focused on a rural area near the university campus that is popular with walkers and mountain bikers. Mr Dorey is a keen biker. He was last seen with his bike, a backpack and had his mobile telephone with him, but none of the items has been found.
Bob Beebe, a close friend of the Dorey family who has been asked by the missing mans parents to be the family spokesman, said that the search would focus on the Belle Isle area, near the VCU campus. There is a very large group of people gathering around the Belle Isle area, which was the last known message link to Jonnys phone.
It is a beautiful rural setting, very popular with mountain bikers and walkers. He may have gone off on a mountain bike trail, had an accident and injured himself. If he is lying there we want to find him. Police say there is no evidence so far of foul play.
Mr Beebe said that Mr Dorey had a close relationship with his family and that it was unlike him to be out of contact with them. In recent emails to a friend in Guernsey Mr Dorey discussed the two of them travelling to Florida. Yet no travel dates had been set and the friend never flew to the US, diminishing hopes that Mr Dorey might simply have gone on a trip without informing anybody.
Mr Dorey is described as between 5ft 10in and 6ft tall, with brown hair. He wears glasses and was last seen wearing a white and blue plaid jacket, a navy blue backpack, dark jeans and black trainers".
