The family of missing Arizona State student Sandarsh Krishna is pleading for help after he vanished near the Grand Canyon days before graduation.
www.wfmd.comHere’s the latest publicly reported information I can share:
- As of early May 2026, Sandarsh Krishna, a 26-year-old ASU student, was reported missing near the Grand Canyon’s Rim Trail between Bright Angel Lodge and Mohave Point. The National Park Service and search teams were actively investigating and seeking public help, including identifying a person who returned a backpack believed to be Krishna’s [web results, summary references].
- By May 9–12, 2026 reports indicated that Krishna’s body had been recovered near the park’s south rim, with authorities continuing to release details about the investigation and continuing to seek information related to the backpack that was turned in earlier [web results].
If you’d like, I can pull direct links to the official NPS updates and major local outlets for you, or set up a brief summary of what authorities have publicly stated (timeline, search area, backpack evidence) with citations.
