CORVALLIS, Ore. -- An Oregon State University student and her boyfriend reported missing Friday are taking a bus to Boston and apparently not endangered, police said Sunday night.

The Oregon State Police said in a news release that they were notified by family that a Salt Lake City, Greyhound employee had made contact with both Kiara N. Wick, 23, of Milwaukie, and Jacob Eveler, 20, of Philomath.

Their families reported them missing Friday evening. At the time, it was feared the pair might be suicidal, police said.

Wick and Eveler 20 were last seen, on camera, leaving Tebeau Hall, where Wick lives, at 9:42 a.m. Friday.

About 3 p.m., a vehicle sometimes driven by Eveler was found parked at his parent's house.

In the surveillance video of the two leaving the residence hall, it appeared Wick had dyed her hair black and Eveler had shaved his face and possibly cut his hair. They were both wearing backpacks and Wick had a large shopping bag and what looks like a yellow, folded rectangular tent.
