Batavia PD is investigating a missing person report to see if it's connected to the body of a deceased African-American male found Friday afternoon in the Tonawanda Creek behind Kibbe Park, said spokesman Det. Eric Hill.
"We do not know if this missing person is associated with the body found in the Tonawanda Creek or not," Hill said.
Over the weekend, police said there was no missing person report that could be connected at that time with the deceased person.
The name of the missing person is not being released at this time, pending further family notifications, Hill said.
The body of the dead man is at the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office undergoing forensic and DNA testing. The person has not been identified and police have asked the public's help in potentially identifying the person. The cause of death remains undetermined.
