BRIDGEWATER — The father of a missing Bridgewater State College student says he last heard from his son through a text message late Thursday night, shortly before he went missing.
Brian Warren said he sent his son, Daniel Querzoli, a text message asking him to help with some yard work the following day. “He said, ‘OK, I’ll see you tomorrow. Good night,’” said Warren Sunday night as he recalled his son’s reply in another text message. “That’s the last I’ve heard of him.” Authorities are seeking information concerning Querzoli and his girlfriend who have been missing since Friday.

Daniel Querzoli, 22, of Bridgewater, and his girlfriend, Amy Scott, 21, of New Jersey, were last seen in Providence, late Thursday night when they borrowed a car from one of Scott’s roommates, Providence police Detective Sgt. Carl Weston told the Providence Journal.
Querzoli is a junior majoring in business at Bridgewater State College, his father said.
Scott is a student at Johnson & Wales University in Providence. Her mother called police to report her daughter missing, authorities said. The pair reportedly left behind their own vehicles, money, credit cards and cell phones, authorities said.

The Journal reported that police notified local TV stations and entered the students’ names and information into the National Crime Information Center, a computerized index that goes out to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.

Scott and Querzoli have been dating for three months, Warren said. “He was going to meet Amy for a Valentine’s dinner,” said Warren, 40, a retired minor league professional baseball player.
Warren described his son, an only child who lives with him at his Bridgewater home, as a typical college student with a “free spirit.” He said it was not uncommon for his son to go a couple of days without contacting family.

“Danny’s a free spirit. He’ll go a couple days (without contact) to go skiing,” Warren said.
But it is very uncommon for Scott to be gone without contacting anyone, he said. That is what has concerned both Warren and Scott’s family, he said. According to family members, friends and media reports, Scott and Querzoli went out to dinner Thursday night and went back to Scott’s apartment at 521 Angell St. in Providence. While both have cars, they borrowed a roommate’s car and left the apartment around midnight, leaving behind their money, credit cards and cell phones.

“Everything was left behind at the house,” said Scott’s roommate, Allen Walski, who gave Scott the keys to his 2004 silver Honda Civic with New Jersey plates — RUF20X. Scott said she had to run downtown and she’d be back shortly, said Walski. He thought his roommate “was going to the store to get cigarettes or something.” Walski said he awakened the next day to find his car missing. “They just said they were running downtown and they would be right back and sure enough they never came back,” said Walski, 20. He said he has not heard from the pair since they disappeared. “Of course we’re worried,” Walski said. “We have no idea what’s going on.”
Authorities described Scott as Caucasian, 5-foot-7, 105 pounds with wavy red hair.
Warren described Querzoli as 5-foot-11, 185 pounds with long, dark, hair. He often wears a baseball cap or ski hat, his father said. Warren also described his son as “very intelligent.”
“I don’t think there’s any situation that he can’t get out of. He’s a smart kid,” Warren said.
He was trying to make sense of his son’s disappearance Sunday night. “I don’t know,” Warren said. “That’s the question. Why?”
