A family from North Carolina has come up to New York in search of 19-year-old Erica Desai, who has been missing since January 20th—but some are speculating that she may just be AWOL. Desai was dropped off at her St. John's dorm on Utopia Parkway by her cousin after getting picked up from LaGuardia following her return home for the semester break. That was the last time she was seen. Her ATM card was used the next day to withdraw $150 from a midtown ATM. Surveillance tape shows the card being used by a woman that CBS-2 says is "obviously of Indian descent" (like Erica) along with an older black male. Her family swears that it can't be her. Her uncle said, "It was not her, it was somebody else. Well, we saw the video and somebody else withdraw the money from her account." Desai had just been expelled from school last month.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Wonder what she did to get expelled from St. John's.
She used her roommates credit card without her permission, the roommate didn't press charges but the school took action. (read it in some other article online about this)
It was more than that from what I heard. I heard she was on academic probation. To be on academic probation from St. John's, you would have to get below a 2.0 GPA...To be honest it's not hard to maintain a 3.0 B average...
I wonder if the investigators have noticed any sketchy friends or boyfriend that she was hanging out with. Whe I was an RA in a freshman dorm (in Brooklyn) I used to see the Freshmen bringing home some of the creepiest people, many of them way older locals that obviously knew that hanging out in an 18 year old dorm was totally inappropriate.
It was a real security problem on our campus because things were always getting stolen. Freshmen that are new to this city just don't know any better and this is the kind of thing that happens to people who haven't turned on their creep 'o meter yet. Really hope that she's just hiding out because she's embarassed about being kicked out of school.
She's probably running away from oppressive parents. Indian parents make Jewish parents look like hippies.
Especially if you're a girl. The boys get to wrap their BMWs around trees in L.I. but the girls are under constant 24hr surveillance.
I don't know, those security cams can be pretty grainy. What they assume to be 'Indian descent' may be just another person who's somewhat brown, and she may really be missing.
If this had been an escape of her family's wrath she would have obviously turned out by now, will all the coverage about this, at least a phone call to her worrying family.
Expelled and hanging out with black men? I'm surprised her Asian family hasn't disowned her already.
I hope this is not like the other chick who "disappeared", yet she was still able to check her email. If so, it's more wasted resources on another attention whore.
Meanwhile, there are real women and children who have been kidnapped or worse on these streets.
