The body of a missing teenager was discovered Saturday following a coordinated 20-hour search amid extreme cold by authorities.
Ann Arbor police had been looking for the 19-year-old after he was reported missing at 4:30 p.m. Friday. Mattson was last seen without a coat, wearing a light-colored T-shirt, blue jeans and white shoes, walking alone at 1 a.m. Friday in the 1700 block of Hill Street. Temperatures in Ann Arbor plummeted Friday and into Saturday, reaching subzero conditions.
