The body of missing Northern Kentucky University student Murry Foust has been found nearly a month after they disappeared from Covington, Kentucky. Police confirmed that Foust’s body was discovered by an independently organized search party near an industrial area in Wilder, Kentucky, across the Licking River from where they were last seen. Foust, a 22-year-old trans student and fine arts major at Northern Kentucky University, vanished on April 27 while walking through Covington’s Latonia neighborhood carrying a yellow backpack. Friends, family, and volunteers had spent weeks searching after Foust failed to arrive at class, leaving behind their phone and car. According to the Covington Police Department, there are currently no indications of foul play, though the official cause and manner of death remain pending a coroner’s report. NKU called it a profound loss for the university community.
