I just got an email from a friend of mine who attends Penn State and she said that her roommate had chemistry class with Joe Dado. The class had a chemistry exam yesterday at 6:30 p.m. and police apparently found the body around 6 p.m. but didn't announce it until 8 p.m.. The school did not inform the students that a freshman was missing until 11:12 a.m. yesterday when they updated their facebook page with the news.

I was directed to the Daily Collegian, the student newspaper, for the most up-to-date information.
