Stolen Oregon State Delta Chi Statue Found

Stolen Frat Statue Recovered

A statue stolen from Oregon State University's Delta Chi house was found this week, more than three weeks after it was reported missing.

Police recovered the statue in the basement of a home and arrested Marcus Annis, 20, in connection with the robbery.

Brothers of the fraternity woke shortly after a 100-pound statue of their unofficial mascot, "The God of Fire," was stolen from their house in July.

Brothers said they believe that someone came into their house through an open window and left carrying the heavy statue.

The statue was donated to the chapter in 1946 and brothers say its worth anywhere from $100,000 to $250,000. Their insurance company is not looking to prosecute the suspects but do hope someone returns it.

Oregon State ΛΧΑ Brother's Body Found in River

Body Recovered From Umpqua River Identified as OSU Student

The body of an Oregon State Student and brother of Lambda Chi Alpha who had been missing since November was found North Umpqua River last week.

The body of Jeffrey Bernard Schmidt, a 22-year old geology major was found Thursday and was identified by his dental records, police said. Schmidt and his girlfriend, Delta Gamma sister Quinn Do Truong, went missing Nov. 19 after leaving a social event.

Schmidt had driven his Jeep off a 70-foot embankment and into the North Umpqua River. His girlfriend was found in the vehicle, but he had disappeared.

University spokesman Todd Simmons said Sunday that the long wait for Schmidt's body was sad for all the students but especially for his fraternity brothers.

"The guys just never really had any closure for their member, and at least now, 3 1/2 months later, now there's some semblance of closure for everyone involved," he said.
