University police said junior Matthew J. Wilson, 20, was last seen at his off-campus apartment at about noon Saturday.

"We found out from a student who Matthew was supposed to have picked up on Saturday evening and take to the airport that he never showed up" police Chief Bill Taylor said. "So we now have information that he had some things planned later from what we originally knew."

My thoughts are with his parents, families and friends. I hope he will be found safe and sound, but the fact that he left without his cell phone does not bode well.

My thoughts and prayers are w/ this young man and his family. I am concerned about him leaving his cell phone behind and not contacting the friend he was taking to airport.

I see that Matt's sister Kym has posted here and I'm a friend of the family. We really do appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers for Matt and his safe return to the family.

Kymberlee and Renee-
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. My son is a Hanzenite so Matts' disappearance hits particularly close to home. Is the Houston Police Dept involved or just the Rice PD? Please keep us posted. Hoping for a postive outcome soon!
