Anything is still possible, look at this reply I found on Reddit about this case, interesting-
"When I was a senior at Purdue (2007), a freshman named Wade Steffy went missing after he left a frat party. Told his friends he was walking back to his dorm. He never made it to his dorm. And was no where to be found. So many theories came out around campus; he witnessed a drug deal; was seen being put into the trunk of a car after being beaten in a parking lot; he wandered into the Wabash River or was put into the river were the main ones I remember. I believe the river was searched or dredged at one point and there were a few massive searches. Nothing was found during those searches. It wasn’t until a few months later that a dorm resident heard a weird ping coming from her ceiling so she called maintenance and they went to check it out. Turns out, Wade had mistakenly wandered into the boiler room of a residence hall, presumably tripped over the equipment and was electrocuted. The particular room he went to into was supposed to be locked at all times and obviously wasn’t. It was a totally preventable tragedy due to negligence on whoever was responsible for locking the door, but man that did not satisfy the dramatic college kids. A lot of people still tried to say he witnessed a drug deal and was put into that boiler room."
