Who was University of New Hampshire student Vincenzo Lirosi?

A 22-year-old University of New Hampshire student named Vincenzo Lirosi was reported missing at around 3am on Saturday morning.

According to a friend of his, Jordan Blanchard, Lirosi had been at a fraternity party where he got into his "first ever" fight before leaving around 1am.

"It's pretty uncharacteristic of him," Blanchard said to WMUR.

"This is his first fight ever."

After the fight ended, the fraternity "kicked him out and told him to go home," said Blanchard.

"That's when he went into the woods," he added.

Other attendees of the party reportedly told police they saw Lirosi walking along a path frequented by students at the campus after he left the party.
