On Sunday afternoon searchers in the Mississippi River near Kenner, Louisiana, saw what is believed to be the body of Brian Reed, brother of Ravens safety Ed Reed. Divers have not yet been able to recover the body, however.
Members of the Reed family gathered near the base of the Mississippi River levee and waited, the New Orleans Times Picayune reports. The body was seen less than a mile downriver from where Reed jumped into the river on January 6 after he had been pulled over by police.
The searchers detected the body using sonar. A diver was unable to find the body when he got stuck in debris in the river.
“We just want some closure at this point,” Brian Reed’s sister-in-law, Javona Sanchez, said. “We wanted him back regardless.”
