On Tuesday, police found a body in a nearby pond but have not confirmed if it was Coleman’s.

Meanwhile, family and friends held a vigil Tuesday night for Coleman at his old high school.

“His spirit was one of warmth ... He was a phenomenal young man and was just a joy,” said family friend Alene Devereaux.
