Interesting, in late 2009 another American student who disappeared in Germany was also found in a river (the Rhine).



Missing 22-year-old teacher, Devon Hollahan's body found in river

Much to the dismay of friends and family, the body of Devon Hollahan, a teacher from Arizona who has been missing since November 21, 2009, was found in the Rhine River. Hollahan disappeared after going to a concert with a friend while on break from a teaching job in Prague. German officials indicated his body was found on December 15, 2009, and a DNA test revealed it was indeed Devon Hollahan.

Josh Friedman, who attended the concert with Hollahan, told authorities after having a few drinks and hanging out with the band, the two men left the concert. He indicated they were confused as to how to get back to the hostel and after Friedman stopped to ask for directions, Hollahan was no longer there.

According to the Associated Press, Frankfurt police do not suspect foul play and believe Hollahan fell into the river causing him to drown.
