This just happened. I know it doesn't really have anything to do with WWASP except for the fact that Nick was a student at SCL. It's just so very sad....

Bodies of missing mother, son found near Superior
By the Associated Press
SUPERIOR - The bodies of a Minnesota woman and her son who have been missing for nearly a week were found near here late Monday afternoon, Sanders County Sheriff Gene Arnold said. They apparently died of hypothermia.
Niki Thomas, 51, a high school librarian from Rochester, Minn., was in Montana visiting her son Nicholas Thomas, 15, who attended the Spring Creek Lodge Academy in Thompson Falls.
She rented a vehicle and drove him from Thompson Falls to an orthodontist appointment in Missoula on March 27. The two were last heard from the following afternoon when they called a family member from a cell phone. They had just left Missoula and were traveling west on Interstate 90 toward Highway 200.
Police say a snowmobiler spotted their stranded vehicle in a snow-clogged mountain pass near Superior on Monday. Authorities believe the two died of hypothermia after trying to walk from the vehicle.
