The search for a missing swimmer on Geist Reservior ended with a tragic discovery. Searchers recovered the body of 24-year-old Andrew Dimitroff. A day of boating and swimming on Saturday where the victim did not resurface after jumping off a raft into the water ended Saturday night at midnight when conditions became too poor to continue searching, according to various media reports. Search and recovery efforts continued Sunday morning by multiple agencies and divers from Fishers located Dimitoff under 23 feet of water in the Cocktail Cove area. He wasn’t wearing a life jacket. Police suspect alcohol played a role.

Increased crime has been a worry of Indianapolis’ top cop during this Labor Day Weekend. Police Chief Troy Riggs said there was a 24-hour period where a crime was done over a video game, a couple of dollars and a fight over a glass of beer. It continued with a series of shootings. Even on this last day of the holiday weekend, police will be working to make sure that parties and celebrations will not cause numerous crimes in the city and they’d like your help. Riggs said the community must do its job to notify them if there is something that’s not right.

It’s official. Mother Teresa is now a saint. Pope Francis canonized the beloved nun in a ceremony at St. Peter’s Square Sunday that drew huge crowds. The Albanian nun devoted her life to caring for the poor and destitute in India. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in the slums of Calcutta in 1950. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her life of service to India’s poor and dying. Mother Teresa died in 1997 at age 87 and the nuns continue her work to this day.
