Chilling last moments of Princeton junior before she disappeared revealed

The desperate brother of a 20-year-old Princeton University junior – who vanished five days ago – said her family is living a “nightmare” and has revealed her final moments.

Misrach Ewunetie was last seen on Friday at around 3 am near Scully Hall, where she lives on campus in New Jersey.

Officials at the school say she has not been in touch with her family or friends in days and sent out a ‘Tiger Alert’ at around 9.20 pm Monday reporting her missing.

Her brother, Universe Ewunetie, described his little sister as “a very principled, smart girl” who is a “loving and caring person, beautiful inside and out”.

He told The U.S. Sun in the family’s first media interview that her disappearance is out of character and she was last seen returning to her dorm after meeting members of Princeton’s Terrace Club.

“I cannot explain, it’s a nightmare that I cannot wake up from,” he said, after flying from California to join the family in the urgent search for missing Misrach.

Universe, who also has a brother, Jhonatan, 23, said the family came to America from Ethiopia in 2008 and Misrach grew up in Ohio, where her parents still live.

The young woman was due to go for an interview on Saturday 45 miles from Princeton regarding her American citizenship application, but her brother was told she was a no-show.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Princeton University for comment but did not hear back.

A spokeswoman for Princeton Police Department said they were not dealing with the case and it is being handled only by campus officers.

Universe said she had been sharing her location with their brother and her phone last logged data in the early hours of Sunday morning.

It signaled from a residential area near Penns Neck – around a seven-minute drive away from campus.

A screenshot of her phone activity obtained by The U.S. Sun shows her phone signal was last picked up around 3.27 am before the device was seemingly switched off.

Her eldest brother, 30, said he has been to the area with police to search and speak to residents but they did not locate the missing woman or her phone.

“They went twice, once with dogs and they didn’t get anything,” Universe explained.

“The third time I joined them with my girlfriend and we were only there for half an hour with the lead detective and two other university officers.

DESPERATE SEARCH

“They only searched the back, they couldn’t get a warrant to check houses around there.

“It was not enough time because the back area was wooded and full of ground vines and shrubs.

“That’s the last place her phone pinged. It’s very unlike her to turn off her phone, kids these days don’t turn off their phones, they love their phones.”

As it has now been days since she was last seen, the family is desperate to get the word out.

“She doesn’t have any personal problems that I’m aware of,” Universe continued, as the family is certain she has no mental health issues.

“With the pandemic, the first year they were not on campus, so that was difficult for her and for a lot of people,” he said.

“But this year she’s been trying to get in this Terrace Club, and that was her way of making friends.”

The Terrace Club is one of Princeton’s famous eating clubs which celebrates food and live music.

A social media post shows they had a live gig on from 11 pm on the Thursday which Misrach is said to have attended.

FAMILY’S PLEA

He said his sister recently changed her major to sociology with a minor in computer science and was enjoying school.

Asked if Misrach had a boyfriend she may have gone away with, Universe insisted: “We contacted her close friends. Everybody said she’s not dating anybody.”

He said they are struggling to get help in the search as many of the students are off campus this week on vacation.

Asked about her three housemates, he said: “The last one of the housemates left on Sunday.

“They hadn’t seen her since Friday, but they didn’t look for her because they assumed she went home.”

Asked how her parents are coping, Universe admitted: “Not well. They have not eaten or slept basically since Sunday, especially my dad.

“She is the gem of the house, they’re only daughter and the youngest. She is very loved.”

He said the family reported her missing on Monday morning to the university and an alert was later sent out, but it’s been a scramble to get people to pay attention to the search.

Misrach is a 2020 graduate of Cleveland’s Villa Angela – St. Joseph High School.

She was the class valedictorian and earned a full scholarship to Princeton and has been written about in local media.

Misrach is described as 5-feet-4-inches tall and weighing 130 pounds with brown eyes, black hair, and a ‘light complexion,’ officials said.

The university tweeted on Tuesday: “The Department of Public Safety continues working to locate missing undergraduate student Misrach Ewunetie.”

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the school’s Department of Public Safety at (609) 258-1000, or submit an anonymous tip online.
