GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Michigan State Police tell 13 ON YOUR SIDE the body believed to be Logan Sweet has been located Wednesday afternoon.
Authorities said a volunteer who is also a motorcyclist searched in an area where he would ride, and that's how Sweet's body was found.
Police say it appears Sweet left the roadway on his motorcycle, hitting a tree. Sweet attended a concert in Grand Rapids on Sunday.
Michigan State Police said Sweet's charcoal gray Kawasaki bike was located near the scene.
A family friend said he was last heard from at 9:55 p.m. Sunday night when talking with his wife about meeting at home. He would have driven south on US-131 to Hamilton if he made it out of Grand Rapids.
Elizabeth Byer, a family friend helping organize search efforts, said the no contact from Logan was not like him.
"In fact, he recently went on a hiking trip up north and they were in constant contact that whole time," Byers said of his contact with his wife, "So, for him to not call her is not like him at all."
Byers called Logan "goofy, fun and outdoorsy." She said he and his wife had a great relationship and a dog.
Byers said Logan was wearing a multi-colored helmet with his bike. He also had a pierced ear and long hair.
She said Logan's wife was working Sunday night, so he went to the concert at the Listening Room alone. They had communicated at 9:55 p.m. to meet at home afterward. If he made it out of Grand Rapids, he would have been traveling home toward Hamilton on US-131. Byers said cameras at the Dorr exit near 142 Avenue do not show him at the time he would have been there.
Tall Heights, the band Sweet saw on the night of his death, gave 13 On Your Side a statement.
"Logan Sweet was a bright spot in the crowd that night. Meeting him after the show affirmed his radiance and warmth, and we are so very sorry to his wife, family, and community for this loss. To us, our fans are family, and so we ache with you now from afar," they wrote.
"It's an interesting reality that you just never see hitting this close to home," said Byers.
Byers and Logan's wife had set up a Facebook page dedicated to the search. It can be found by clicking here.
