Volunteers Search In Lilydale, Rosemount For Missing U of M Student

MINNEAPOLIS (WCC0) - Family members of 20-year-old Anarae Schunk are combing an area near the Mississippi River for her body, according to the Facebook page created in her search effort.

People are searching for the missing University of Minnesota student near Pickerel Lake in Lilydale, as well as areas in the vicinity of Highway 46 near Rosemount and Farmington.

Burnsville Police told Schunk's family Saturday that they are certain she's dead. They have not discussed the evidence which points to this conclusion with the public.

Schunk's ex-boyfriend, Shavelle Chavez-Nelson, was arrested for murdering a man he fought with outside a Burnsville bar earlier this week. Police say he's not talking.
