Search crews looking for missing NKU student Murry Foust are now using a hiking and backcountry mapping app to keep track of search areas. EquuSearch Midwest, a branch of Texas EquuSearch, has started using CalTopo, an app often used by hikers and rescue teams, to map which sections have already been searched so crews can avoid overlapping the same ground and focus on unexplored areas. This app also allows people to search areas on their own and share where they’ve been in real time.

Murry, a student in NKU’s School of the Arts, was last seen April 27th heading toward campus, but never made it to class. Murry’s car was later found near their apartment in Latonia, and a bag belonging to Murry eventually turned up on NKU’s campus. Investigators have released surveillance images tied to Murry’s last known movements, while EquuSearch crews, drones, dogs, volunteers, and multiple search organizations continue searching different areas in Northern Kentucky and across the river in Ohio.

Police are still asking people to go back through home and business security footage from that evening because there’s still a chance somebody captured something that could help. If you’re Latonia area near 33rd and Winchester or the area between Lincoln and Myrtle avenues, investigators are asking you to check any home or business surveillance cameras you may have.

In a new update shared Friday, the Foust family said Covington Police are continuing to follow up on leads and expand the search area, adding, “We are not giving up as we continue to search until we find them.”

If you’re in the Cincinnati area, several pieces of Murry’s artwork and sculpture will also be featured during the Cincinnati Art Museum’s “After Dark” pop-up show on May 29th. The family says more details about the event will be shared soon.

For those wanting updates directly connected to the search effort, the group “Murry Foust Information Hub” has been sharing ongoing updates and search information.
