Who Used Camille Cleverley's Debit Card?
Two people reportedly are being questioned in the woman's disappearance.
Sept. 6, 2007 — -- What should have been the start of a young woman's senior year at college has instead turned into a weeklong mystery surrounding her whereabouts and a widespread search to find her.
Camille Cleverley, a 22-year-old student at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, disappeared one week ago.
Cleverley was last seen riding her bicycle the evening of Aug. 30 near the university's law library. She was reported missing after she didn't show up for various appointments Aug. 31.
"She took a bike ride and she never came back," said her boyfriend, David Sperry, who has been dating Cleverley for four months.
"We just enjoyed each other's company," Sperry said. "No indication she would be upset and get away."
Search teams, which by now include authorities from the Provo Police Department, the Utah County Sheriff's Office, the FBI, the Salt Lake City-based search organization Destiny Search as well as hundreds of family and friends, have combed the campus and nearby mountain biking trails where Cleverley often went mountain biking.
Late Tuesday, investigators revealed a critical, yet frustrating clue they had uncovered. Cleverley's debit card was used at a convenience store just a few miles from her off-campus apartment Aug. 31, the day after she vanished. Police in this typically safe college town have been unable to confirm, however, who used the card to buy doughnuts and two sports drinks. Surveillance cameras inside the store were not working at the time.
University administrators at BYU, which began classes Tuesday, sent out a mass e-mail requesting that students keep an eye out for the woman. A MySpace Web site devoted to her disappearance has also been posted.
Lt. John Geyerman, of the Provo Police Department, told ABC News that FBI resources are specifically helping trace the debit card transaction, which he described as a "potential lead."
ABC's Provo affiliate reported late Wednesday that investigators had detained a man and a woman for questioning in connection with Cleverley's disappearance after reportedly blocking off an area around a car wash. The two people reportedly agreed to take polygraph tests today.
