Friends on Friday were remembering Vance Nwankwo as a popular student, movie and music enthusiast and White Sox fan who enjoyed making people laugh. South Barrington police said a body found in a pond was positively identified as Nwankwo, 25, who authorities have been searching for since he went missing last week. “He always wanted to bring out the good in people," a friend said.
