New Clue in Disappearance of College Student

RICHMOND, Va. -- There could be a new clue in the disappearance of local college student Taylor Behl, 17, of Vienna.

Richmond Police are asking the public what they know about a stolen Virginia license plate that may be connected. The plate is "GRN ERTH."

Police say the license plate was stolen, and placed on a different car. They want to know what kind of car, where and when it was seen, and possibly who was driving.

If you saw the tags between Sept. 5 and Sept. 18, call 804-514-TIPS.

Behl, a student at Virginia Commonwealth University, was last seen the evening of Sept. 5 when she left her dormitory room, taking only her cell phone, a small amount of cash, a student ID and her car keys.

The teen's car was found two weeks later, less than two miles from her dorm. Her license plates had been replaced with Ohio plates reported stolen several weeks before she disappeared.

Last week, police said they had several persons of interest in the case. Richmond police spokeswoman Cynthia Price says now there are no persons of interest in the case.
