Michigan State Police divers resume searching river on MSU campus for Brendan Santo

EAST LANSING (WWJ) -- There's still no sign of Brendan Santo — but his loved ones, and the authorities, aren't giving up.

Divers are back in the Red Cedar River on the Michigan State University campus on Wednesday, as the search for the 18-year-old college freshman now stretches nearly four weeks.

Santo went missing just before University of Michigan vs. Michigan State game last month, after he was last seen on MSU's East Lansing campus just before midnight on Friday, Oct. 29.

MSU Campus police said divers from Michigan State Police are involved in the search, along with K-9 units. Searching the Red Cedar is a difficult task, as officials said visibility in the river is only about two feet.

The search has been focused on the river, although police continue to follow up on tips that have been called in about possible sightings of the teen.

Meanwhile, a "Bring Brendan Santo Home" GoFundMe account has raised more than $110,000 to assist in search efforts.
