Police in Israel said today (August 29, 2014) that a body found yesterday is that of missing American yeshiva student Aaron Sofer, according to the Euro News website.
A formal identification will take place following the discovery near a forest in Jerusalem.
The 23-year-old from Lakewood, New Jersey disappeared a week ago after going hiking with a friend. The two became separated and Sofer never emerged from the forest.
"What we have confirmed is that the body that was found was of the missing student. Obviously, there's an investigation taking place at this moment in time to see what the background of the incident was. If the student fell and went missing or if it's a murder case," said Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld.
