Police: Missing St. Cloud Student May Have Fallen From Bridge

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Authorities now believe a missing St. Cloud State student may have fallen into the Mississippi River this past weekend.

St. Cloud police say surveillance video appears to show Jesse Aaron Dady, 21, walking onto a railroad bridge behind the Empire Apartments.

Surveillance video also showed a silver car near the scene at the time. Media coverage led the driver to contact police, who determined that he had no relation to the case.

Crews searched the river Monday and Tuesday, but police say the river's current, low-visibility and debris will make recovery extremely difficult.

There is no search operation Wednesday, but the Stearns and Hennepin County sheriff's offices will continue the search Thursday.

Police believe foul play is not involved in Dady's case.
