(Omaha, Nebraska) – A fisherman who saw what he thought was a body in the Missouri River, Thursday, under the I680 bridge, alerted authorities, who recovered the remains of a child who had been missing from N.P. Dodge Park in Omaha, since Tuesday evening.
Authorities had searched for 7-year-old Abi Gurung since he disappeared. Police say no foul play is suspected. N.P. Dodge Park, which was closed during the investigation, reopened this (Friday) morning.
The Gurung family told KETV they’re planning on a funeral ceremony where Buddhist monks will pray over Abi’s body before cremation. A friend of the family said Abi was born in America, and his parents worked hard raising him to be a good citizen.
