Reward For Missing College Freshman Who Vanished Off The MSU Campus 64 Days Ago Surpasses $20,000

East Lansing, Michigan. Brendan Santo is a college freshman who attends Grand Valley State University, and on the night of October 29th, he was over at Michigan State University visiting with a few of his friends.

Unfortunately, just before midnight, Brendan disappeared off the MSU campus, and nobody has seen him in the 64 days that have passed since then.

Brendan was last spotted walking by himself out of Yakeley Hall, and he was wearing Converse sneakers, a Red Wing baseball hat, grey sweatpants, and a black shirt.

He also had with him a dark brown wallet and a distinctive gold cross necklace (pictured below).

“The last confirmed location of Brendan’s phone was on Beal St. not far from Yakeley,” Brendan’s loved ones wrote on a Facebook page dedicated to finding him.

“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’s credit and bank cards have not been used since he disappeared, and his family thinks something has to have gone terribly wrong because he wouldn’t have gone missing voluntarily.

A task force recently searched the bridge located over by Beal Street, as well as the Brody neighborhood, without any signs of Brendan.

Brendan’s family is asking that if you happened to have been near the area Brendan disappeared from on October 29th, that you check the photos on your phone to see if you might have captured him on camera.

A reward fund has been created that now exceeds $20,000. 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].

You can also call 911 if you spot Brendan.
