Authorities say they plan to resume the search for 20-year-old Alyssiah Wiley on Friday morning. Police have been searching the campus area in Willimantic with dogs and interviewing people who know her.

The West Haven native was last seen on campus last Saturday morning by her dorm roommate, police said. Wiley is a sophomore psychology major.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to call campus police or state police at (860) 537-7500.
