The body was found about three-tenths of a mile east of the Port Republic Bridge, the Galloway Township Police Department said in a Facebook post on Monday, Dec. 9. The person wasn't identified as of press time.
Police said the body matched the description of 84-year-old Alan Levin, whose family reported him missing on Saturday, Dec. 7. Levin's vehicle was found near the bridge on the next day.
The search resumed on Dec. 9, when a drone team from the Atlantic City police and fire departments discovered a body matching Levin's description along the bank of the creek near the bridge.
A Bluesky post on Sunday, Dec. 8 said Levin drove a black Honda CR-V and could have been "anywhere in the area, including Atlantic City and Ventnor." He was also believed to be wearing a black, yellow, and white Nautica windbreaker.
State police and Atlantic County authorities were helping in the investigation. Stay with Daily Voice for updates on this developing story.
