2 Weeks Ago This College Freshman Disappeared Off Campus Shortly Before Midnight
East Lansing, Michigan. Brendan Santo is a freshman at Grand Valley State University who was at Michigan State University on the evening of October 29th to visit with some of his friends.
Shortly before midnight that Friday, Brendan disappeared off the MSU campus after last being spotted walking out of Yakeley Hall all alone.
He has not been seen since then, and tomorrow marks 2 weeks since he vanished.
“This is the Friday night prior to the Michigan State vs. U of M football game,” Brendan’s family explained on a Facebook page dedicated to finding him. “For those of you not from Michigan this is an extremely popular game.”

When Brendan vanished, he had been dressed in grey sweatpants, a black shirt, Converse sneakers, and a Red Wing baseball hat.
He was wearing a gold-colored cross necklace, and he did have his dark brown wallet with him.
“The last confirmed location of Brendan’s phone was on Beal St. not far from Yakeley,” Brendan’s family continued.
“Police were able to confirm his battery drained down to 0%. It was not deliberately shut off. It is a dark color iPhone 11 with a dark or clear case with no screen protector.”

“Brendan drove his vehicle to MSU, parked it and it never moved. Brendan was not carrying his keys to his vehicle and his parents were able to take his vehicle home.”
“Brendan was carrying keys to his friend’s vehicle. They are in his back pocket. The picture on the page is the spare set. The friend’s vehicle was parked at Emmons Hall Friday and had not moved until it was towed to the dealership for new keys on Sunday.”
“The boys checked the vehicle throughout the day on Saturday assuming Brendan went to sleep in the vehicle. When it became clear he had not returned they contacted the MSU campus police. The police did search the vehicle.”

Brendan does have a credit card and bank card, but none of them have been used since the night he went missing.
His loved ones say that he was extremely close to his mom and dad, and he was happy in all aspects of his life, including school and home.
He wasn’t unhappy or depressed at all, which leads his loved ones to believe his disappearance wasn’t voluntary. Brendan’s family is offering a reward of $5,000 for any information that brings him home.
If you see Brendan or have any information related to his disappearance, you can call the MSU Police Department at 844.996.7873 or email them at [email protected].
