She did not state a reason why Kristin would have left.

Maria wrote that Kristin has a dark blue 1997 Toyota Corolla and was last seen in Binghamton, New York.

“If you know anything or think you see Kristin Jannotti please contact Tompkins County Police,” she stated. “Praying for her safe return.”

According to an alert sent out to the campus community Sept. 30, Jannotti lives off campus in the Town of Ithaca, so the investigation is being led by the Sheriff’s Office.

Dave Maley, senior associate director in the Office of Media Relations, said the college does not have any additional information at this time, as the Sheriff’s Office is the lead investigator on the case.

Police are asking anybody who might have information on Jannotti’s whereabouts should contact the Sheriff’s Office at 607-272-2444.

“We hope for a swift and positive resolution and outcome to the situation,” Maley said.
