Carlsbad Father in Spain to Search for Missing Son, Austin Bice

Larry Bice of Carlsbad has arrived in Madrid, Spain, to help search for his son, Austin Taylor Bice. The 22-year-old was spending a semester studying international business at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and had been in the country since mid-January. 

Austin Bice, who is reportedly fluent in Spanish, was last seen late last month. Spanish police said he was last seen at a fast-food restaurant but never made it back to the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, about 20 minutes away.
Concerned friends contacted authorities the next day. Bice is a SDSU student and graduated from Torrey Pines High School.
