Authorities in Texas said Friday they have a "person of interest" in the disappearance of a 22-year-old college student last seen more than a week ago. Verk was last heard from during the early morning hours of Oct. 12, according to the Alpine Police Department. During a news conference Friday, Verk's family pleaded for her boyfriend to help in the search and cooperate with investigators. "I'm asking you please to help us," the young woman's father, Glenn, said of the boyfriend, who has reportedly retained an attorney. Anyone with information on the case is urged to call the Alpine Police Department at 432-837-3486.
