The discovery of student athlete Luke Homan’s body Monday in the Mississippi River left a legion of his family, friends, coaches and even former competitors in disbelief that he had met the same mysterious fate as seven other young males in recent years.
University of Wisconsin-Madison football players Joe Thomas, Ben Strickland and Steve Johnson, all former Brookfield Central students, helped in the search, along with Brookfield Central High School Athletic Director Scott Nelsen. Former high school athletes who competed against Central also turned up for the search.
