Friends of Dan Zamlen plan to return home to Minnesota's Iron Range this weekend to say goodbye to the Eveleth native whose body was pulled from the Mississippi River.

Zamlen was a freshman at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. He disappeared April 5 after leaving a house party in the pre-dawn hours. Police recovered his body Friday, nearly a month after he disappeared.

Zamlen's funeral is tentatively set for Saturday in Eveleth.

Results of an autopsy have not been released.
