Investigators with the Austin Police Department are working closely with the University of Texas Police Department, University of Texas System police, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers, the department said in a news release Wednesday.

Students speculated on social media that the woman is a female theater and dance student reported missing since the weekend.
Emails sent to some students at about 2 p.m. Tuesday telling them the College of Fine Arts had canceled theater and dance classes for the remainder of the day and make counselors available further fueled that speculation.
Calls to numbers associated with the student's parents were not returned Wednesday.
