SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Searchers are looking for a 20-year-old woman who went missing Friday after coming home from college for the Thanksgiving break.

Sgt. John D'Eredita of the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office says
police, firefighters and others fanned out over a large area in the northern suburbs of Syracuse to search for Jenni-Lyn Watson of Clay. The search area was based on her cell phone records.

A search and rescue team from Oswego County was also on the
scene Tuesday.

Friends and family set up a Facebook page dedicated to the
search for Watson, a junior dance major at Mercyhurst College in
Pennsylvania. Watson is described as 5-foot-2 and 100 pounds, with
dark blonde hair and brown eyes.

As of Monday evening, more than 3,500 people have joined a Facebook group dedicated to finding Watson.
