Jeff Buckley Still Missing
Jeff Buckley, who disappeared May 29 while
swimming in the Mississippi River outside Memphis, has still not
been found. Lt. Maples of the Memphis Police Department on Saturday
said that they are presuming him dead but that no body has been
located.
On Monday, Buckley’s mother, Mary Guibert,
along with his managers, urged people not to speculate beyond the
facts or to believe any rumors regarding Buckley. “It has become
apparent to me that my son will not be walking out of the river,”
Guibert said. “It is now time to make plans to celebrate a life
that was golden. I ask people who cared about Jeff to please be
honorable and faithful to his memory.”
Buckley was in Memphis about to begin recording a new album. He
went swimming while he and a friend were hanging out on the banks
of the river. After a boat came by and created a large wake,
Buckley disappeared. He has not been seen since.
