The body of a missing student has been found almost a month after they went missing. Murry Foust, 22, was en route to class at Northern Kentucky University in late April, a friend said, and was reported missing three days later on April 30. No foul play is suspected. Foust’s remains were located in the nearby city of Wilder, Kentucky, after a lengthy hunt led by the Covington Police Department with a coalition of volunteer groups, friends, and official agencies. “The body of Murry Foust has been located in Wilder by an independently organized search party,” Covington PD said Sunday. “We extend our deepest condolences to the Foust family and their loved ones during this difficult time and ask that their privacy be respected as they grieve.” It added that “At this time, there are no indications of foul play. The official cause and manner of death will be determined by the Campbell County Coroner’s Office.” Foust was last seen in the Latonia neighborhood of Covington, with friend Charlie King writing in an urgent appeal that “Murry never made it to class and has been missing ever since.” “Murry has never done this, and was in good spirits before they went missing,” King wrote.
