Drones, K9 units, and water rescue teams were deployed as the search expanded. Police confirmed the body was found near an industrial area in Wilder, Kentucky, across the Licking River from the last known location. Police reported no current indications of foul play, while the cause and manner of death remain pending a coroner’s report. NKU described a profound loss and the family requested privacy.
