0:00Welcome to Birmingham News Today, two minutes of news that mattered to Birmingham. A 20-year-old University of Alabama student named James Paul Gracie from Elmhurst, Illinois has gone missing in Barcelona, Spain. He was last seen early Tuesday morning around 3 a.m. at the Shoko Barcelona Night Club in the Olympic Village area. Police are now reviewing surveillance video from the club. Gracie had been out with a friend, but his friend headed back to their Airbnb while he stayed behind. The footage shows him leaving the club with at least one other person, though the video hasn't been made public yet. His mother, Teresie Gracie, says the authorities found her son's cell phone, but officials in Barcelona haven't confirmed that. The University of Alabama has reached out to the family to offer support during this tough time. The nightclub sits in a bustling waterfront tourist spot built for the 1992 Olympic Games in the San Martí district. Gracie was wearing a white t-shirt, dark pants, and a gold chain with a rhinestone cross.
