Caitlin Byrd, managing editor of UNC Asheville’s college newspaper, the Blue Banner, reported on Twitter last night that there was a search on for a missing UNCA student. Here’s her string of updates, which started around 10 p.m. Friday and went until about 1 a.m. this morning:
*BREAKING NEWS* UNCA student Jordan Earley is MISSING. Asheville fire and rescue are searching for him now.
@fobes Working on trying to get more details about this.
Seeing lots of Facebook status updates from Jordan Earley’s fellow Sigma Nu brothers. Will be talking to his “little” soon.
@sandymaxey He has a Facebook account. I’ll be getting more details soon. Talking to one of his sigma nu brothers in 5.
Correction: Talking to Earley’s “big” soon. Hopefully he can at least tell me how long he’s been missing.
@sandymaxey He may have privacy settings up for just people in his network. I’ll see if he can put up a picture soon.
@ingridnews13 No details on where they are searching at this point . Last time they heard from Jordan it was around 6 p.m. today.
@sandymaxey I still have access to his profile. I think his privacy settings are for his network. I’ll upload a recent picture soon.
Just got off phone w/sigma nu brother: Officially confirmed missing. Last heard from at 6 p.m. via depressing text message.
Photo of missing UNCA student Jordan Earley. Last heard from at 6 p.m. today.
@sandymaxey At this point, no. They also are not at leisure to reveal certain information because of the investigation right now.
Contacting Jordan Earley’s sister now for more information about her brother.
Contacted sister and family of missing UNCA student Jordan Earley. Will be receiving a call back from them later.

@barbieangell Thank you so much. I hope they find him soon. His friends and family are very concerned.
Last facebook status update from Earley was “Quadrophenia” at 4:23 a.m. Friday. The same as the song/album by The Who.
Heading to bed, #avl. Hope we have some new developments about Jordan Earley in the morning. Please call APD if you have any information.
