SARTELL, Minn. (KFGO-AM) -- Family and friends of a college student are mourning the teen from Minnesota after his body was found in Moorhead.
About 500 people attended a candlelight vigil for North Dakota State University student Thomas Bearson in Sartell on Tuesday night. The vigil was originally scheduled as a prayer service after the 18-year-old freshman from Sartell was reported missing over the weekend. Police announced Bearson's remains were found Tuesday.
Students at NDSU also held a vigil in Fargo.
A statement from Bearson's family asked mourners at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Sartell to "reach over and hug'' their children.
Police say Bearson was last seen at a party Saturday in Fargo. His cause of death hasn't been determined and no suspects have been identified.
