Search Continues For Delaware County College Student Missing In Western Pa.

CLIFTON HEIGHTS, Pa. (CBS) -- A Delaware County family is holding out hope that 18-year-old Devon Minor, who has been missing since Wednesday night, was not the victim of any foul play.

Minor, a student of Geneva College, sings in the choir at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

He's described as a bit of a loner by his family, but they say he has never been out of touch for this long before.

In the same church where Devon minor prayed, his dad and uncle now pray for him.

His worried aunt and legal guardian are now at the school, but what really troubles Minor's family are the items the young student left behind in his dorm room.

"The breakdown was that his keys, his wallet, iPod, laptop and phone, everything was in his room," said Otis Barlow Jr., Devon's Uncle.

Family members have been putting up posters at the western Pennsylvania school.

"The last time they had information on when his school ID was swiped was late Wednesday night when Devon was leaving the dinning area,"

After that, Devon simply vanished.

His dad, John Macon Jr. is hopeful the engineering freshman might just be taking a break from everything and everyone.

"I just think that he just got a little overwhelmed and I really truly believe he needs time to reflect," Macon Jr. said. "I really don't suspect foul play at this point. I don't want to be naive to the fact that something could happen. This is a crazy world we live in."

Devon is from Clifton Heights, Delaware County and is described as a good kid.

"This is not like Devon to disappear like this," Barlow Jr. said.

Police are investigating, but as things stand now there are no signs of foul play.
