{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The missing 25-year-old son of two Missouri state judges has been found dead in Sacramento, Calif., nearly a month after he disappeared.
Amazon employee Alex Holden had been missing since New Year’s Eve. Sacramento police said his body was found Sunday near a river, according to reports.
Police ruled out foul play, the Springfield News-Leader reported.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"While this is not the outcome we hope for in any missing person case, Alex's family finally has closure and can now begin the healing process after what has been a long month," police spokesman Karl Chan said, according to the paper. His parents told police that their son's disappearance was uncharacteristic of him.
