A 20-year-old Linden who had been missing for more than a week was found dead in Newark after falling from the Pulaski Skyway into an automobile yard, authorities said March 3.
A widespread search was launched for Jeffrey Mendoza after he was reported missing around 9:45 p.m. Feb. 21.
Mendoza's vehicle was found in the northbound lanes of the Pulaski Skyway on Feb. 23, Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said.
A search of the river using NPD's drones came up short. On Feb. 24, however, Mendoza's body was found in an automobile storage yard.
Authorities suspect Mendoza fell from the highway into the yard, Ambrose said.
