Police want to trace Brian Rooney's path. They are hoping that someone saw his red Jeep between the early morning hours of Saturday October 7 and Monday morning October 9.

Michelle, a 21-year-old senior at the University of Vermont, vanished in the early morning hours of Saturday, October 7, 2006. Michelle was last seen at around 2:34 AM on Main Street in Burlington, walking back to her dorm room. She was on her way back to campus after celebrating a friend's 21st birthday. But cops say she never made it.

Michelle's parents were in town for Parents Weekend and reported her missing the next day after she failed to show up for dinner. According to officials, there is no indication that Michelle left on her own free will.

The Burlington Police Department, UVM authorities, canine teams, the Vermont State Police, and the FBI are all searching for clues in the disappearance of Michelle. Investigators have been working around the clock following leads, but at this time no suspects have been identified. Family and friends are also helping out by handing out and posting flyers all over the area. Others are assisting law enforcement officials by helping search the area for any clues that might help find Michelle.
