The Atlanta Police Department confirmed to ABC News that there is an active investigation into Hubert’s disappearance.
“[Hubert’s rescue] is all credited to our students not giving up on their friend,” Robert Connolly, Georgia Tech’s chief of police, said at a press conference Monday.
Battaglia said he believes Hubert may have been robbed and noted that Hubert’s and his date’s phones were missing.
Battaglia told ABC News that Hubert is being treated for broken vertebrae, broken ribs, a punctured lung and cerebral hemorrhaging in the emergency room. Hubert’s mother Didi is directing all media inquiries to Battaglia and other friends.
