Anwesha Dey, a 30-year-old doctoral student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, disappeared on May 3, 2015 after leaving a friend’s house near 23rd and S Streets in Lincoln and walking home during stormy, windy weather. Surveillance footage shows her falling into Antelope Creek at about 7:27 p.m. The creek was only about three feet deep then, but the current was strong and Dey could not swim; she was swept away and never seen again.

Searches were carried out along Antelope Creek and connected waterways, including Salt Creek and the Platte River, but no trace was recovered. Authorities believe she likely drowned, and she is presumed drowned, though her body has not been found. Dey was originally from India and was studying biological sciences; she had moved from practicing Hinduism to Buddhism after relocating to the United States.

If anyone was in the 23rd and S Streets area that evening or saw activity along Antelope Creek, please come forward with information.
