Family To Missing College Student: "Come home!"

Trapatsos Family

The family of a missing College of St. Rose student is making a new appeal for his safe return.

At 3:30 p.m. on October 17th, University Police were notified by the College of St. Rose that one of its students was missing. The student, 17-year-old Connor Trapatsos, was last seen leaving Brubacher Hall in downtown Albany a week ago.  His family wants him to call home.

" Connor we love you so much. We miss you. We just want you to come home.  We don't care about school or grades."

Connor left his prescription medication behind and may require medical attention.

Video shows Connor was last seen in Glenmont walking south on Route 9W at about noon on October 15th.  He was wearing a white T-shirt, blue shorts, blue sneakers and back-pack. Authorities say there is no indication of foul play. He was seen boarding and exiting a bus.
