They found that kid from Chicago who had been missing from Grinnell College for 7 months...or his body, I should say.

They found him dead in a pool when they pulled up the tarp to prepare the pool for summer. Aside from how obviously upsetting the entire situation is, I am additionally pissed off that they missed finding him in the first place. The pool was just a few blocks from campus. The police and search teams say everywhere (including the country club where the pool was located) were searched "extensively".

Grow up. If you searched a country club extensively, don't you think that would include peeking under the pool tarp? This poor kid's parents have been worrying about him for 7 months thinking he was still alive somewhere as there was "no trace" of his body anywhere in Grinnell or the surrouding areas (except that there was).

To be fair, I don't have the whole story. Maybe it will come out that someone put him in the pool after the search efforts died down, but it's not really looking that way.

So sad...
