Friends and family held posters while looking for missing BC student Franco Garcia near the Chestnut Hill Reservoir.

State and Newton police searched Franco Garcia’s home in Newton yesterday in hope of finding a piece of information that may help locate the missing Boston College student, and rocker Bruce Springsteen has joined the effort on Twitter.

Lieutenant Bruce Apotheker - a spokesman for the Newton Police Department, which is leading the investigation - said, “State and Newton police are at the house. They are trying to find some clue, some investigatory lead, that would help them in the search for this missing young man.’’

State Police divers searched the Chestnut Hill Reservoir yesterday for the third straight day, but with the same frustrating result.


“They found nothing on the bottom that would be considered in any way relevant to this case,’’ said State Police spokesman David Procopio, who said divers would be back in the reservoir tomorrow.
