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.
