Israeli police confirm they found the body of Aharon Sofer, a yeshiva student from Lakewood, New Jersey. Sofer had gone for a hike on Friday in Ein Kerem and never reunited with his friend.
New Jersey State Senator Bob Singer said it’s too soon to say what happened.
While Israel police could not yet say the cause of death, they had earlier cast doubt on the family’s fear of a kidnapping.
