NKU student Murry (legal name Alexis Marie) Foust was reported missing to the Covington Police Department at 3 a.m. Thursday morning. They were last seen on April 27 around 5:30 p.m. on their way to class and have not been seen since. According to the Covington Police Department, when initially reported, it didn’t meet the criteria for a missing report. 

Their friend Charlie King made a Facebook post around 11 a.m. Thursday, urging people to keep an eye out for Foust. Also in King’s post, they say Foust’s car was found a block from their apartment in Latonia, Kentucky, off of Decoursey Avenue. Their bag was found at NKU and their cellphone was found in their apartment when police searched it. 

“Murry has never done this before and was in good spirits before they went missing,” King said. 

“Foust takes medication and has documented mental health disorders as well, so finding them is incredibly urgent. This behavior is unheard of for Foust, and we are all panicking,” King said. 

For anyone keeping an eye out for Foust, they are Caucasian with shoulder-length black dyed hair with choppy bangs and brown eyes. They are 22 years old and 5’7. There is a geometric striped pattern tattoo on their elbow, a ram skull on their upper arm and on one of their shins is a depiction of a crucified Jesus. 

The Covington Police Station is actively searching, with detectives in the area of the Latonia neighborhood where Foust lives.

In a statement to The Northerner, NKU Chief Communications Officer Corey Best said: 

“Northern Kentucky University is aware that one of our students, Murry (Alexis) Foust, has been reported missing. Our thoughts are with their family, friends and all those impacted. The Covington Police Department is leading the investigation, and we are fully cooperating and supporting their efforts. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Covington Police.”

The Northerner will continue to follow this story and report any developments.
