Missing Purdue student's body found in car

FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) - The body of missing Purdue student Patrick Trainor was found inside a vehicle that was pulled out of a retention pond Wednesday afternoon. The pond is located within the gated community of Breakwater.

At a press conference Wednesday, Sgt. Randy McFarland of the Fishers Police Department said investigators monitored surveillance video shot from the entrance of the neighborhood and noticed that Trainor's vehicle was seen entering the neighborhood but never leaving.

The pond is very near the home where Trainor attended a party Saturday night. That was the last place he was seen alive ( scroll down below the story to view a map detailing the location of the pond and the location of the party)

Trainor was driving his 1999 electric green Ford Mustang that night. Police say the license plate on the car found in the pond matches his vehicle.

Police have contacted Trainor's family. They have since arrived near the area.

Crews have been searching several areas over the past four days searching for any leads to his whereabouts.

A candlelight vigil has been set up for Patrick Trainor. It will be held at Purdue University at the Sagamore Ridge Apartments at 2501 Soldiers Home Road Wednesday night from 7:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.
