Coast to coast had this on a little over a week ago and said it hadn't been in the news yet.
They said that the FBI and the local police are not taking it serious and want to write it all off as suicide. I did hear it on another program once and they said that some of the college students are now coming forward saying they woke up from a drunk wondering how they ended up by a river. They say 'they' are grabbing college athletes walking down the street when they are drunk. Are they even warning college students that something could be up?

I read a story on philly.com about this here is the link.
