Over 50 different organizations have contributed to the search that lasted nearly four months. Tom Scanlon, spokesman for the Middlebury Police Department said of the discovery, "It's not good news, but it's closure for the family."
Friends and family wait with interest for the autopsy results. Speculation on the cause of death has run a wide gamut and for a case that has been devoid of many answers, more closure and more information will likely help the healing process.
Natalie Garza, in a statement issued late Tuesday night wrote, "Nothing in life has prepared us for such a loss…He [Nicholas] was adored, deeply loved, and those who knew him were blessed with an extraordinary man …Thank you to the thousands of letters, emails, and prayers."
At about 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Middlebury College President Ronald D. Liebowitz issued a statement informing the College community and others of the discovery of the body believed to be Nicholas Garza. Liebowitz asked, "May the unity that comes from the terrible sadness we all feel at this time be a source of comfort and strength for the Garza family."
Natalie Garza will be in Burlington this morning for the autopsy. Arrangements for a funeral in Albuquerque are currently being prepared. A gathering in remembrance of Nicholas will also take place at Middlebury College at a future date.

On finding Brooke Bennett's body
Well, what the hell can you expect from this ungodly state of socialists and secularists. Bill O'Reilly warned of sexual predators coming out of the walls due to the lenient laws of Vermont. (Continued…)

Honestly, if the guys didn't check the temperature of the water, we would have never found Nick Garza, kind of crazy no?
