A memorial service will be held today for Dan Zamlen, the University of St. Thomas freshman whose body was recovered from the Mississippi River last week.

Zamlen disappeared during the early morning hours of April 5th after leaving a house party.

Hundreds of volunteers searched for Zamlen, who was diabetic, for more than three weeks.

His body was found last week in the Mississippi River near the St. Paul Ford plant.
