- A body recovered off the coast of Spain has been confirmed as University of Alabama student James "Jimmy" Gracey, 20, who disappeared in Barcelona on March 17 after being last seen outside the Shôko Barcelona nightclub.
- Gracey was found dead in the water off a Barcelona beach on Thursday, according to Catalan police.
- Surveillance footage showed Gracey leaving the nightclub with someone and his wallet was later found floating in the sea near Somorrostro Beach, which led authorities to suspect foul play.
