The disappearance was investigated at the time, police said, and efforts to find him were unsuccessful. The disappearance was considered suspicious and homicide detectives took over in 2021.
In June 2023, five years after the disappearance, the man’s body was found in the yard of a home on Elmwood Avenue, the same street he disappeared from, according to police.
