Universe said his sister's phone last pinged a location near an off-campus residence about a 30-minute walk from her dorm after 3 a.m. on Sunday morning. His sister being at a location like that so late was out of character, Universe said.

"It's pretty far away," he said. "And Princeton is a big campus and it's very insular. Right. So it's very odd that her phone would be off campus like everything is on campus."
