Missing Dartmouth College student found dead in Connecticut River, her bike in woods
Kexin Cai, a missing Dartmouth College student, was found dead Monday in the Connecticut River, several days since she was last seen.
Around 4 p.m. Monday, a fisherman “alerted authorities to a sighting” along the river in Windsor, Vermont. Authorities were dispatched to the area, where they retrieved a body from the water that was later identified as Cai.
Police said their preliminary investigation suggests no foul play.
The Lebanon Police Department was notified on May 17 that the Dartmouth doctoral student, 26, had been missing since May 15, and authorities issued a missing persons report.

Two local businesses had surveillance video footage showing Cai leaving on her e-bike around 6 p.m. that Wednesday and heading south on NH RT 10 toward West Lebanon. A “passing motorist” spotted her e-bike at the Boston Lot Conservation Area on May 20, police said.
Local law enforcement agencies, along with Dartmouth Safety and Security, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, good Samaritans and others joined the intensive search for Cai around the Boston Lot and Wilder Dam areas in the days following her disappearance.

“She was a second-year doctoral student in psychological and brain sciences with a special interest in communication challenges in autism,” Jon Kull, dean of the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, wrote in a Monday statement.
“According to her adviser, Kexin was an exceptionally gifted and humble researcher with a genuinely sweet personality. She loved cats so much that she would sneak images of them into every poster or presentation. Kexin loved the Upper Valley. Here, she discovered the joys of hiking, skiing, and road trips,” Kull wrote.

A Massachusetts city with one of the nation’s largest Cape Verdean communities has imposed a temporary curfew ahead of Friday’s historic World Cup match between the West African nation and Argentina.
The curfew will be in effect in Brockton, just south of Boston, from 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Saturday.
City officials said the decision follows recent World Cup celebrations that led to dangerous and unlawful behavior.
“World Cup celebrations have resulted in incidents of reckless driving, illegal street gatherings, vandalism, assaults, fireworks violations, disorderly conduct and other criminal activities,” the city said.

Brockton is home to one of the largest Cape Verdean communities in the United States, with nearly one in four residents identifying as Cape Verdean, according to local outlet The Enterprise.
Friday’s match was expected to draw large celebrations, as the 2026 tournament marks the first time the African island nation has qualified for the FIFA World Cup.
Following previous World Cup matches, Brockton police said several people were injured in shootings that erupted during postgame celebrations, according to local outlet Boston 25 News — prompting city officials to impose the temporary curfew ahead of Friday’s matchup.

Under the curfew order, no one will be permitted to enter establishments serving alcohol after 7 p.m.
Patrons already inside will be allowed to remain until 10 p.m., but “last calls” for alcoholic beverages must end by 9:30 p.m.
The city said only limited exceptions to the curfew will be permitted.
Such cases include law enforcement officers and other first responders, individuals traveling directly to or from lawful employment, those seeking medical care, and those responding to emergencies.

Brockton officials described the measure as a public safety measure intended to preserve public order.
“The purpose of this curfew is to protect public safety, reduce criminal activity associated with post-match celebrations, and enable police, fire, and emergency personnel to effectively maintain order and respond to emergencies,” the city said.
“Residents and visitors are urged to celebrate responsibly, obey all laws, avoid unlawful gatherings, and cooperate with public safety officials to ensure that all World Cup celebrations remain peaceful and safe.”
