Update: 'Missing' students found: 1 in jail, 1 at home
Amy Scott and Daniel Querzoli
Police now know the whereabouts of two college students who didn’t return home after borrowing a friend’s car to run errands last week.
Twenty-two-year-old Daniel Querzoli is in state police custody in Pennsylvania, and 21-year-old Amy Scott is in New Jersey with her mother, Laura Tool.
Tool said her daughter and her daughter’s roommates were all in danger, but would not elaborate to police.
The car Scott allegedly left Providence in -- her roommate's Honda, which has been reported stolen -- was found in a parking garage in mid-town Manhattan.
Querzoli, a student at Bridgewater State University, was arrested in what Pennsylvania state police say was a different stolen vehicle with stolen plates.
Providence Police Det. Sgt. Carl W. Weston Jr. said he had an unusual series of conversations with Tool, who reported her daughter missing last week.

Tool said her daughter had been in touch and that she and her husband were going to pick up Scott, Weston said. But, he added, she was not forthcoming in answering all of his questions.
At one point, Weston said, Tool remarked that Scott said she and her roommates were in danger. Tool said police should send an officer to the apartment, but would not tell Weston the nature of the danger.
Out of an abundance of caution, police sent an officer to the house yesterday to check on the eight residents of the multi-family house. No one was home, Weston said.
A police sergeant in Beach Haven, N.J., went to Tool’s house and confirmed that Scott was OK. But the sergeant did not get much more information, Weston said, because the two women had a lawyer with them. Tool did say that her daughter and Querzoli were no longer dating.
Querzoli was arrested at about 3:15 a.m. today when a state police trooper reported seeing a vehicle being driven erratically on Interstate 81 in Cumberland, just outside of Carlisle, Penn.
According to Sgt. Jonathan Mays, Querzoli was driving a stolen Buick Century with stolen plates.
Querzoli is currently being held on $50,000 bail while he awaits his hearing.
On cable television last night, Querzoli's father, Brian Warren, said he had received a postcard from his son that said the two college students were on a “road trip.”
Weston said the case reminds him of the runaway bride.

Looks to me like somebody's been watching too much reality TV and needs a bit of attention.
