Summary

Lousiana authorities are searching for a missing LSU student Kori Gauthier after police found her wrecked car on a bridge. Family members told reporters that the police didn’t notify them about the crash. They first learned she was missing when Gauthier’s employer called them after she didn’t show up for work. The family says they also learned she missed a doctor’s appointment and missed classes. The family reached out to police after pinging the locator on Kori's phone. Kori’s car was towed to an impound lot, following the wreck. Gauthier's phone and wallet were still inside the vehicle.
