parents' home about a mile away but never made it. his last cell phone call around 1:30 a.m., then the phone stopped pinging with cell towers. >> at some point, the cell phone stops communicating with the network, and there's a lot of reasons that could happen. the phone could be dead, it could be broken, the battery could be out of it, the battery could have just gone dead, the phone could have been turned off. >> reporter: they're not really sure exactly what happened and that's why they need the public's help, and that's why they have upped the reward now to $31,000. coming up in the next 30 minutes, i've been talking to some students here on campus as they get up and move about during the early-morning hours. their reaction to both the disappearance and the rally that's planned later today. live on the west chester university campus, jesse gary, nbc 10 news. meantime, the search will resume this morning in wilmington for a missing barge operator. the barge flipped over near the mouth of the christina river around 7:30 last night during a routine procedure. two workers were rescued, but a third is missing. from our delaware bureau, fire investigators are working

foreseeable future right now? >> i would think so. it's probably going to be shut down through rush hour, so they should start looking for alternate routes. >> we've been listening to the fire chief in lower merion township talk about this fire along montgomery avenue in narberth, montgomery county, talking about one roof fully collapsing and two buildings -- bottom line, two buildings, commercial. nobody was hurt, but you heard the fire chief right there say the road, which is a main thoroughfare along the main line, will be shut down for rush hour. katy zachry's been getting us around that. katy? >> it is important for drivers who typically take montgomery avenue, instead of taking 76, because we know 76 gets backed up considerably around this time through the 8:00/8:30 hour. this is where it's happening. it's on the main line in narberth on montgomery avenue. the stretch of montgomery avenue between old gulph road and brookhurst avenue is closed right now because of that fire activity that you just saw from that live interview. an alternate around that is lancaster avenue. again, lancaster avenue can get
