The focus is shifting in that massive search for a missing Iowa State student.
Crews are now looking on remote areas of the campus such as steam tunnels and mechanical rooms, searching for 21-year-old Jonathan Lacina.
Jon was last seen more than a week ago, leaving a friend’s house in Ames, just about two blocks from his home at Buchanan Residence Hall.
Right now, police have no leads.
Jon's family says not knowing is the hardest part of this ordeal.
On Sunday, a helicopter searched for Jon Lacina from the air.
Dive teams searched the water at Lake Laverne, and dogs looked through the fields near the "Towers" Residence Hall.
Fraternities and sororities are also looking around their buildings for any sign of him.
Family and friends say it's just not like Jon to disappear without telling anybody.

Officials: Threat of flooding in Des Moines drops
March 21, 2010 18:26 EDT
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Weather officials say the immediate threat of flooding in Des Moines appears to have passed.
Des Moines officials say falling river levels means Fleur Drive should reopen Monday morning. That's a major downtown street that leads to the airport.
The opening is days earlier than previously thought.
The Raccoon River was nearly five feet above flood stage Sunday, but slowly falling.
Des Moines Public Works Director Bill Stowe says river levels are dropping faster than expected.
National Weather Service meteorologist John Hinsberger says snow that fell over the weekend has already melted off into the Des Moines River basin and there isn't further rain in the forecast.
He says it looks like the right combination of factors for rivers to drop below flood stage.
