ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Authorities are searching for a 19-year-old University of Central Florida student.

The Orlando Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1MQZlv2 ) reports Mikanzis Spinella hasn't been seen since Saturday afternoon when he left his family's home in Silver Springs a white, four-door Oldsmobile 88.

Marion County Sheriff's deputies say the teen told family members he would be back shortly so he could pack his belongings to head to the Orlando university for the fall session. Investigators say he never returned. All efforts to contact him failed. Deputies say they've been unable to confirm his safety.

He was last seen wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans.
