The 26-year-old doctoral student was reported missing last Friday, sparking a massive search effort that sadly ended with the recovery of her body on Monday night.
Cai, a Chinese native, was last seen on Wednesday in Lebanon, New Hampshire. She had left her home on an electric bike, and surveillance footage captured her riding towards West Lebanon.

A breakthrough came when a fisherman spotted her body along the Connecticut River in Windsor, Vermont. Emergency services swiftly responded, retrieving her remains from the water.
Despite the heartbreaking outcome, Lebanon Police Department stated that there was no indication of foul play in Cai’s death. However, the fate of her E-Bike remains uncertain, with authorities yet to confirm if it was recovered.
Described as a second-year doctoral student in the psychological and brain sciences department, Cai’s focus was on communication challenges for individuals with autism. Dean Jon Kull of the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies praised her as an exceptional researcher with a warm personality.
In an email to the campus community, Kull shared that Cai had a passion for hiking, skiing, and road trips. Her partner, Kristian Droste, revealed that Cai had sought help from the college health service for a mental health crisis before being transferred to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
The loss of Kexin Cai has deeply affected those who knew her, with tributes pouring in for the talented student who left an indelible mark on the Dartmouth community. As the investigation continues, her memory will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her..
