A body believed to belong to Brendan Santo was recovered from the Red Cedar River in East Lansing.

Police said a body they believe to be Brendan Santo has been found in the Red Cedar River nearly three months after he disappeared on the campus of Michigan State University.

It’s been nearly three months since Brendan Santo was last seen at Michigan State University, but there’s still no sign of the missing Rochester Hills student.

Thursday was the graduation for the Detroit Achievement Academy’s eighth graders and every student received a life-changing graduation gift.

I offer my deepest condolences to the student’s family and friends. I want to assure you that we have every resource devoted to the investigation and in support of our campus community. The Grand Valley State Police Department will have additional staff working on the Allendale Campus for the remainder of the weekend. The Grand Valley State Police Department and the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Michigan State Police Crime Laboratory, are aggressively investigating this incident. Philomena V. Mantella, Grand Valley State University president
