OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - An investigation is underway after a man was found dead in Douglas County.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says they found the body of 39-year-old Laron Hodges of Omaha Thursday. It had been concealed in a vehicle that was discovered at an impound lot.
His family says they last saw him on Feb. 2, and they filed a missing persons report last Tuesday.
Capt. Eric Sellers told 6 News how they were able to find Hodges in a private tow lot.
“We go through the Omaha impound, and they have satellite locations that report to them if vehicles are towed,” Sellers said. “If anyone reports a vehicle stolen, they were able to see that it was at another location.”
Investigators are now trying to pinpoint Hodges’ last-known location.
