Missing Columbia Student Found

Earlier this morning we pointed towards the Daily News article reporting a missing Columbia student. The 25-year-old Toby Cohen had allegedly left his girlfriend's apartment this past Sunday night, took $200 out of an ATM and headed back to his Washington Heights home. He then left his wallet and medication for "a life-threatening medical condition" in his apartment. After two frantic days, a friend of Cohen's just told us some good news -- Cohen has been found healthy, and his family is currently picking him up. No other details have come out yet, but it's nice to hear the story didn't end tragically.

Although I hope it is true...Toby lives in my building, and all the Missing Persons posters are still up and nobody, including the doorman, has heard anything about him being "found"...
