According to more media reports, Ahorities confirmed that Eliotte Heinz, a 22 -year -old postgraduate student at the Viterbo University in Wisconsin, was discovered in the Mississippi River on Wednesday 23rd and ended the desperate four -day search that gave up the La Cross community.
Heinz was last seen on Sunday morning (July 20) after leaving the broncos bar in the center of La Cross around 2.30 pm. The tracking shots later showed that they walked along the Mississippi river around 3.30 in the morning, there are only three quarters of a mile away. She never got home.
Her body was on Wednesday near Brownsville in Minnesota recovered just before 10:30 in the morning – more than 12 miles downstream since the last known place – based on the La Cross Police Department.
Authorities are waiting for the results of autopsy to determine the official cause of death and the investigation is still ongoing.
The community will gather in the search effort
On the days after her disappearance, Heinz’s family, friends and local volunteers mounted an intense search campaign. Flyers were published, home security shots were required, and several search parties fought against the shores and surrounding neighborhoods. Heinz’s mobile was acquired by friends during the search, her mother confirmed.
Viterbo University, where Heinz studied mental health counseling, shared reports from the family on social media and urged the public to come up with potential potential customers. Her family urged residents to check the video to watch home supervision from early Sunday morning between 2 and 6:00 and stressed that “even the smallest details could change.”
Tragic end
“It wasn’t the result we had hoped for during this search,” said La Crosse Shawn Kudron’s police head in his statement. “Our thoughts are with Eliotte’s family, friends, and all who knew her. We are grateful for spilling support for La Cross, Wisconsin, and at the national level to find Eliotte.”
At the beginning of the week, Heinz’s parents frightened when they couldn’t get into their daughter on Sunday morning and immediately contacted the authorities. As the search has intensified, the community was mobilized to distribute posters and support the ongoing effort.
In a sincere statement, the Heinz family thanked the public for their stunning support: “Pouring support in the search for Eliotte was stunning and we are deeply grateful for kindness, prayers and encouragement from and outside the community.”
As the police are waiting for an autopsy finding, questions about how and why Heinz ended so far from her last known location. The investigation continues.
