Volunteers search for missing Neb. college student

Tyler "Ty" Thomas

AUBURN, Neb. (AP) – Family and friends of a missing Peru State College student have resumed the search for her body. Nineteen-year-old Tyler “Ty” 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. Volunteers resumed the search on Sunday. 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 the case. Keadle has been charged in two separate sexual assaults in Nebraska.
