Missing Man's Body Found Buried Outside Long Beach Home
LONG BEACH (CBSLA) – The body of a 31-year-old man missing for seven months was found buried on a property in Long Beach where he had last been seen, police reported Wednesday.
Long Beach police reported that remains discovered buried on the property of a home in the 500 block of West 8th Street have been identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office as Zach Kennedy.
Kennedy was last seen on Oct. 22, 2017 at the home, where his remains were later found outside, police said.
Detectives unearthed Kenney's remains on May 3 after obtaining a search warrant to excavate on the property. There was no word on what prompted them to search it.
