St. Thomas Freshman Student Missing

A freshman student at the University of St. Thomas has been missing since early Sunday.

Dan Zamlen, 18, of Eveleth, Minn. was last heard from around 3 a.m. on Sunday as he walked home from a house party.

Zamlen was last known to be walking along Mississippi River Boulevard near St. Clair Avenue in St. Paul. Family members said Zamlen had been drinking alcohol and is a type-one diabetic.

According to family members, Zamlen was on a phone call with a friend, and the last word heard were, "Oh my god, oh my god, I'm slipping." At that point, the phone cut out and the friend called police.

A helicopter was used Sunday to search along the river, but nothing was found.

"Just looking, just hoping, just looking for something at all," Zamlen's roommate, Todd Gleason, said.

Zamlen is 6 feet tall and weighs about 175 pounds. He was last season wearing a blue jacket and blue jeans.

St. Thomas' Emergency Notification System was used to send a text message to all students, staff and faculty at noon Sunday. The text message said the university is attempting to locate Zamlen and anyone with information is asked to contact the university's Public Safety Department at (651) 962-5555.
