Troy

A woman vanished in the city Sunday night.

Police are looking for Noel Alkaramla, 21, a hostess last seen being dropped off after work around 10 p.m. Sunday. Police said she was expected to go directly home but she did not arrive.

Alkaramla was last seen wearing black pants, a black blouse and a tan coat with a fur hood. She is 21 and stands approximately 5 feet 1. Police said she weighs about 135 pounds.

Anyone with information can call police at 270-4411.

A neighbor, while cleaning Monday morning, found documents with Alkaramla's personal information on the street. Seeing the address, the neighbor returned it to Alkaramla's roommate, who lived a few blocks away on Washington Street between First and Second streets.

Her roommate, who is also her girlfriend, called police around noon Monday to report a missing person.

Alkaramla worked part time at Verdile's Restaurant in Lansingburgh, where she had been a hostess for the last four months.

A manager at the eatery said Alkaramla is quiet and sweet. "She wasn't the type to hang around," her manager said.

Alkaramla used to walk to work before she moved downtown.

Police said she usually relied on taxis to go home, as no buses run that late at night.

That night, however, a co-worker at Verdile's drove her home, police said.

Police are searching for surveillance videos around Alkaramla's residence.

"It's difficult. There's not even really a scene," police spokesman Capt. Dan DeWolf said. "There's not evidence of anything, other than she's missing."

Alkaramla was enrolled in the criminal investigations program at Hudson Valley Community College in the fall of 2013, the college confirmed.
