COLUMBUS, Oh. — Police in Ohio are investigating after a missing Howard County man was found dead in the trunk of an abandoned rental car.
The body of 44-year-old Hajid Jordan was discovered January 24 inside a Tesla Model 3 on the lot of a West Columbus business on Hilliard-Rome Road.
Investigators were originally in the area trying to locate another missing person when they came upon Jordan, according to a police report.
