AUBURN, Neb. (AP) – Family and friends of missing 19-year-old  Peru State College student Ty Thomas are renewing their efforts to find her body. Thomas, of Bellevue, was last seen in early December. Investigators had focused their efforts on a stretch of the Missouri River near a Peru boat dock, but flooding this summer suspended the search. Authorities suspect Joshua Keadle, a former Peru State student originally from Swansea, S.C., in Thomas’ disappearance. Police have accused him of providing false information and tampering with evidence in the case, but no charges have been filed against him in Thomas case. Keadle has been charged in two separate sexual assaults in Nebraska. Thomas’ family and friends will renew the search for Thomas this weekend.
