Missing Penn State freshman found dead on campus minutes ago.

A freshman went missing after coming home from an on campus frat over the weekend. There's been a huge search operation going on all day with helicopters and such, and as of 7:05 he was found dead in a stairwell or something similar in a lightly traveled area. I find it hard to believe there was no foul play, because I lived in the same dorms as him last year and wouldn't take the route he would have had to take home to end up where he did. i'm also amazed it took them all day to find his body seeing as he was still on campus, right by where he went missing.

Wow didn't finish the message, hyperlink fail.

My thought and prayers go out to his friends and family. i know his parents came in from Pittsburgh to help look for him, and also put out a 10,000 dollar reward with any information relating to his disappearance. It's kind of been scary on campus today with everything going on, especially over by west halls where the frat is.  R.I.P. Joe Dado

yeah i had notices on facebook about it. thats really a shame. I go up to my brothers apartment off south allen every weekend for home games. Is that near where he was found or was it on the other end of town.

I don't want to start spreading rumors, but my roommate was just at the crime scene and talked to the police. They said he was found in the dumpster. There's some fucked up shit going on here.

i really hope this tunes down our mentality as a school. i think we try way too hard to keep our name as "number one party school in the nation" but this should definitely be a reminder that we aren't fucking invincible(not saying im not one to party, i just know my limits). something fishy is going on with FIJI i think, and i'll be curious to see how this all turns out.

My only question is, those are buildings that people use all the time..and the area is really busy, so how the hell did they not find him before that?

just want to say, everyone, be careful. im not entirely sure on all the circumstances but i know joe was alone when this happened and that should have never been that way.
