EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University police say a private investigator working with a missing young man’s family first alerted them to what is believed to be the youth’s body in a river.
MSU police said a tip Friday from private investigator Ryan Robison led divers to recover what's believed to be 18-year-old Brendan Santo’s body in the Red Cedar River.
Santo was last seen Oct. 29 during a campus visit ahead of a football game between MSU and Michigan.
MSU police say Robison saw an object in underwater video submerged in a logjam he “strongly suspected" was Santo's body, and then informed the Santo family before calling 911.
