The college student had attended a mock United Nations convention there.

Upper and Lower Columbus and Wacker," said Det. Tony Rizzo with the Chicago Police Department. Police are having a hard time finding students who may have been with him that night.

cbs2chicago.com - Police Have No Leads On Missing College StudentPolice Have No Leads On Missing College Student
(CBS) CHICAGO Chicago Police have no leads this morning on the disappearance of a 20-year-old college student from Missouri, who has been missing since last Tuesday. As CBS 2's Mike Parker reports, Jesse Ross was last seen at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, at 630 N. Rush St. Sometime early Tuesday, he dropped out of sight. A surveillance photo of Ross was taken at the Four Points Sheraton just before 1 a.m. Tuesday. What happened after that is a mystery. Ross was in town with a group of college students attending a mock United Nations convention at another hotel, the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers, at 301 E. North Water St. near Columbus Drive and the Chicago River. Police divers have been working the Chicago River near that hotel since Ross was reported missing. "The Marine Unit's been out every day since Wednesday," said police Detective Tony Rizzo. "They've done both dives, surface searches, cadaver dogs. The physical area around both hotels has been searched." Police reported earlier they were having a hard time finding students who may have been with him that night, and there has been no activity suggesting that someone else has his personal property.

United Press International - NewsTrack - Search for student comes up emptySearch for student comes up emptyCHICAGO, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- A weeklong search for a college student who disappeared during a model United Nations conference in Chicago has failed to turn up any leads, police said. Police said they have searched the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers, where Jesse Ross was last seen at about 3 a.m. Nov. 21, as well as nearby alleys, dumpsters and bodies of water, the Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday. Sgt. Helen Zemek said Ross was last seen at the hotel, which was host to a mock emergency meeting of the Security Council just prior to when Ross went missing, and police have been unable to find evidence he returned to the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, where he had been staying. "He just disappeared off the face of the Earth," Zemek said. "It's like poof." Zemek said students who attended the conference have given police contradictory stories about Ross' last known whereabouts and whether or not he had been drinking. "We're trying to interview students like crazy," she said. "We've talked to 30 or 40, and there's probably another 50 to go."

Kansas City Star | 12/10/2006 | Work aims to spotlight missing UMKC student Family of missing UMKC student travel to Chicago to ‘keep his face out there.’Dec. 10, 2006 Work aims to spotlight missing UMKC student Family of missing UMKC student travel to Chicago to ‘keep his face out there.’ Family members go to Chicago to pass fliers and meet with reporters.
Jesse Ross’ family handed out fliers with the missing UMKC student’s photo Saturday in Chicago and publicized his case through a news conference with reporters there. The Belton native, 19, was last seen Nov. 21 leaving his downtown hotel. He was visiting Chicago for an American Model United Nations International conference. Ross’ father, brother and a family friend traveled to Chicago for Saturday’s visit. The goal was to keep Ross’ case in the mind of the public, so that anyone who might know something will call police. “They want to keep his face out there,†said his mother Donna Ross, who had a cold and had to stay home. “They want to keep his name out there.†On Thursday, members of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity organized a rally at the University of Missouri-Kansas City to raise money for a reward fund. Many college students attended, as well as Ross’ old co-workers, people from church, and many others who knew the family, Donna Ross said. It was encouraging, she said, to know so many people were keeping Jesse in their thoughts and prayers.

No Clues in Disappearance of University of Missouri Student Jesse Ross - The Crime libraryNo Clues in Disappearance of University of Missouri Student Jesse Ross By David Lohr December 12, 2006 CHICAGO, Ill. (Crime Library) — Authorities in Chicago are mystified over the disappearance of 20-year-old Jesse Ross. The University of Missouri sophomore who vanished on Nov. 21, after attending a model United Nations conference at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel, 301 E. North Water St. The mock conference took place at 2:00 a.m. and was followed by a dance. Jesse was last seen a half-hour later. According to friends he was planning to go back to his hotel room at the Four Points Sheraton at 630 N. Rush St. The two hotels are about a ten-minute walk from one another. Jesse never made it back to his room and he vanished somewhere along the way. According to his MySpace profile, Jesse, or "Opie" as friends know him, is an intern at radio station 95.7 The Vibe. I exchanged messages with one of his co-workers yesterday and was told Jesse was a very likable guy with no enemies. "We are really tight friends, his internship put him in my studio on day one, just to give him some insight on radio. From there he went from intern to promotions, to being on the air for our morning show as a side kick, stunt boy, kinda fun guy. He is hilarious and his humor and his intelligence put him exactly where he wanted to be.

Pastor: Missing Student's Family Relies On Faith - NewsPastor: Missing Student's Family Relies On Faith Friends, Family Continue To Hold Out Hope POSTED: 11:44 am CST December 27, 2006 UPDATED: 12:07 pm CST December 27, 2006 CHICAGO -- In the little over a month that 19-year-old Jesse Ross has been missing, his family has never lost hope. "They've been amazing, as far as having suffered something like this so close to the holidays," said Ken Albers, a deacon at St. John Frances Regis in Kansas City, the Rosses' parish. "They’ve relied very much on their faith." The University of Missouri-Kansas City sophomore disappeared on Nov. 21 -- two days before Thanksgiving -- while attending a mock United Nations conference at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers at 301 E. North Water. The outgoing teen and fraternity member was active with his campus activities council and was completing an internship as an on-air personality at a local pop radio station. He was last seen about 1 a.m. at a dance at the Sheraton Chicago, but never made it back to his Four Points Sheraton Hotel room. Missing their second child on Christmas Day -- Ross has an older brother -- his family sought the comfort of the church community they've relied on since learning their son would not be returning home with 13 other Missouri students. "They attended Mass and were surrounded by friends and family helping to support them," Albers, who has known the freckled, red-haired teen since he was 5 years old, said on Tuesday. Albers traveled with Ross' parents to Chicago a week before Christmas to offer a reward for any information leading to the discovery of their son. Chicago police, who swept sections of the Chicago River and the Lake Michigan shoreline and interviewed more than 100 of the 1,200 students at the conference, said Tuesday they have no new leads. Like Ross' parents, University of Missouri officials and members of Ross' fraternity said Tuesday they continue to hope. The fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, has held fundraisers to come up with the $1,400 reward Ross' family is offering. "It's just been a shock," said fellow fraternity member and friend Aaron Welch. "We said, 'What can we do?' We can't, like, go to Chicago to search for him. So we came up with the fund."
