Another student missing? Hmmm. I think the FBI might have to look @ this again.
La Crosse Student Missing After Night Of Drinking
Police Found Set Of Footprints
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- A La Crosse college student is missing, and authorities are considering whether to search the Mississippi River after footprints were found on the ice.
Craig J. Meyers, 21, of Western Technical College was last seen on Sunday at 2 a.m. Police said Meyers spent Saturday night at a wedding reception and drinking at two bars.
Police Capt. Rob Abraham said a set of footprints leads out onto the river. He said authorities will have to discuss whether to conduct a river search, since the effort would be dangerous.
The La Crosse Tribune notes the search evokes painful memories for a city that has struggled with alcohol-related drownings. Eight drunken college-age men drowned in area rivers between 1997 and 2006. The FBI found no evidence of foul play.
Oh No!! I'm headed there this weekend.
ReplyDelete...I partied in La Crosse A LOT during my early 20s (went to nearby Winona State). There's no way you would walk toward the river if trying to get home (even if completely drunk). If anything, you'd run across one of the riverside hotels before you actually got to the river. And why so many drunken males supposedly make this mistake and no females? It doesn't make sense....
