Police searching for a missing University of Minnesota student said they have found video showing the young woman going into the Mississippi River from a bridge.
Jennifer Houle, 22, was last seen Friday at a bar in the Dinkytown area of Minneapolis between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., the Minneapolis Police Department said.
The video shows her alone on the 10th Avenue Bridge on Friday morning and then going into the river, Minneapolis Police Department spokesman John Elder said.
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office has been asked to help the MPD with a water recovery effort, and no suspects are being sought, he said.

“We extend our deepest condolences to the Houle family and all of Jennifer’s many friends,” the MPD said in a statement. “The Minneapolis Police Department and the family of Jennifer Houle wish to thank the many people who provided support, assistance, and information since Jennifer’s disappearance. The Houle family has requested privacy at this difficult time.”
Friends said they thought Houle left the bar to walk home. Police said they found her purse and her phone in the middle of the street near her apartment building, just an hour and a half after she was last seen at the bar.
Houle is a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, and chapter posted on Facebook Saturday: “We need all the help we can get to find this warm-hearted, beautiful person.”
“She’s an amazing sister and friend to all of us,” said Madeline Eddy. “She’s very involved.”
