WOODBRIDGE, VA—A man missing since Saturday was found dead by a passerby around 8 a.m. Monday in the Occoquan River, according to Prince William County Police. The body of Miguel Angel Sanchez, 24, was taken to the Medical Examiner's Office in Manassas. Authorities say there's no indication of foul play.
When family members reported him missing, they told police he had sent several "concerning messages" to a friend. Later Saturday, Sanchez' unattended vehicle was found on the Interstate 95 bridge over the Occoquan. Police made numerous searches of that area over the weekend but came up empty.
