SOUTH JORDAN, Utah (AP) - A body discovered in the Jordan River over the weekend has been identified as a 24-year-old man who had been reported missing in West Jordan more than a month ago.
South Jordan Police Officer Samuel Winkler identified the victim on Monday as Nathaniel Vamvas. He says there are no signs of foul play but the case remains under investigation pending the results of an autopsy by the Utah Medical Examiner’s Office.
Winkler says the body appeared to have been in the water for several weeks. Vamvas was reported as missing person on March 23.
Rescue teams recovered the body Sunday morning after citizens walking dogs found it and called 911.
A section of the Jordan River Parkway Trail was temporarily closed while detectives investigated along the waterway.
