Student missing in France had trouble making friends and 'may have left voluntarily'

An American university student missing in France had trouble making friends and "may have left voluntarily".

Ken DeLand Jr, 22, a student at St. John Fisher University in Rochester, New York, was "insufficiently prepared" for life in a new country and may have decided to leave on his own accord, according to French prosecutor Eric Vaillant.

The Grenoble prosecutor believes the missing student, who was learning French at the University of Grenoble Alpes, "told several people that he arrived in France insufficiently prepared and had difficulty making friends."
