Ok, according to the Omaha World Herald a body was found near the Veterans Memorial Bridge which "links Council Bluffs and south Omaha". I believe it was found today. Sadly on a separate note, the remains found in Hummel Park were that of Amber Harris (age 12) and her death is being considered a homicide. So now we are waiting on the ID of the bones in the barrel. It is so crazy, sad and upsetting that so much is going on.I posted the following on the Amber Harris thread (Harris kin await word on id of remains):

I am also adding the following individuals missing from NE:

Melissa Ann Schmidt 15 missing since September 1995--caucasian, at time of photo long brown hair, brown eyes, 5'4 slender build
As we all know, many of the missing leave of their own accord but there are some striking similarities --med to long brown hair, brown eyes and similiar age range. Hopefully all are safe and will return soon.
