JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The search for a missing Jefferson City man in Siberia has ended.

According to our CBS affiliate KRCG, The Siberian Times is now reporting that the body of 25-year-old Colin Madsen of Jefferson City has been found.

Madsen was studying at a Russian University after going to school at Columbia College, and had attended both Helias Catholic and Jefferson City Public High Schools.

He went missing eight days ago after leaving for a morning walk.

He took neither his cell phone or a coat despite subzero temperatures.

The body was found a little more than a mile from Arshan village, where he was staying before his disappearance.

On Friday, the Siberian Times reported that the Investigative Committee, seen as equivalent of the FBI, had opened a murder investigation in the Republic of Buryatia.

Authorities said his documents and money were still with his body, and there were no signs of outward injury.

The cause of death is being investigated.
