urveillance video captured Jonathan S. Dorey, a 22-year-old exchange student from Guernsey, an island in the English Channel, walking his mountain bike away from Gladding Residence Center last Tuesday at 11:19 a.m., said VCU police Capt. Grant Warren.
"There's really nothing to indicate foul play," Warren said yesterday. "We wish we had more to go on."
It appears that the last class Dorey attended was Tuesday morning, and he last used his cell phone that morning. The last purchase he is known to have made also was Tuesday morning, at a 7-Eleven, Warren said.
Friends reported Dorey missing Thursday about 5 p.m.
Police describe him as an accomplished mountain biker and said he enjoyed riding around Belle Isle near downtown Richmond.
Authorities searched that area Friday and again on Sunday with a larger group of at least 40 people and some dogs, Warren said. Police also were planning to search by air.

I wish we had more information or something to go on. They said they are searching the Belle Isle area where some people ride bikes.
He is a tall guy and I would think he could take care of himself in a bad situation. I hope

Local VCU offers $5,000 reward in case of missing student
By Reed Williams
Published: March 13, 2010
Quote:
Virginia Commonwealth University yesterday offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the location of Jonathan S. Dorey, a foreign-exchange student who has been missing more than a week.
Also yesterday, about a dozen people gathered in the rain about 3 p.m. outside Gladding Residence Center before embarking on a search of Richmond bicycle trails around Belle Isle and elsewhere. Dorey enjoys riding on trails around Belle Isle, and authorities have searched that area at least twice in the past week or so, including with dogs.

Fears mount for missing British student Jonny Dorey in Virginia
http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/...nia-university
Two extensive police searches have failed to trace exchange student Jonny Dorey.

Fears are growing over a British exchange student who disappeared 12 days ago from a university in Virginia. Jonny Dorey, 22, a geography student from Guernsey, was last seen leaving the Virginia Commonwealth University campus in Richmond, US, on 2 March with his mountain bike and a backpack.
He last used his mobile phone that morning, from Belle Isle, a rural area close to the campus popular with mountain bikers and walkers. Despite two extensive searches in the area, police are no further forward in tracing him or his bike.

I wanted to post an update as I just saw this on Richmond's NBC 12 site:
http://www.nbc12.com/Global/story.asp?S=12217048
RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) – Rescue crews are on scene in south Richmond working to recover, what authorities say, is a corpse from the James River.
The body was discovered around 12:00 Sunday afternoon on Brander St. near the I-95 bridge.
Early reports indicate that water rescue crews were already in the area searching for missing VCU student Jonathan Dorey when they came across the body.
However police say there is no immediate indication that the corpse found this afternoon is Dorey.
We've a crew on the scene and will have more information as it becomes available.
<end>
Please pray for the Dorey family

How utterly heartbreaking. Maybe this young man did not know exactly how unsafe that area is...so many tragedies of late involving young people with their whole lives in front of them -- gone, in the blink of an eye --

Per my earlier post - the body recovered was Ferdinand Nathaniel and again LE says no foul play is suspected.
The search for Jonathan continues.
