Missing NY college student: $10K reward offered after Niagara Falls searches turn up empty

Family is offering a $10,000 reward for information about missing 19-year-old Buffalo State College student Saniyya Dennis, as searches conducted near Niagara Falls in upstate New York over the weekend turned up empty more than one week after her disappearance.

"This is not like her. This is not of her nature," Saniyya’s sister, Keyora Dennis, said at a recent press conference Friday. "My mother always says she’s a creature of habit… When she comes to visit my mother in the city or comes to visit our family she lets her know when she’s running late or lets her know who she’s going to be with, what time she expects to be home." University Police is working with police agencies at the local, state and federal level, Carey said. Buffalo State Police said it obtained surveillance footage of Saniyya at the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) bus terminal in downtown Buffalo, WGRZ reported. That video has not been made public.
