"Israel finds body where US student disappeared" | Associated Press August 29, 2014
JERUSALEM — Israeli police said Thursday ‘‘there is a strong possibility’’ they have found the body of an American seminary student who disappeared while hiking in Jerusalem last week.
Let me guess; it was Palestinian terrorists.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the body was found in the same area where Aharon Sofer disappeared. Sofer, 23, of Lakewood, N.J., had been hiking with a friend in a hilly, forested area on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
‘‘There is a strong possibility that it is the body of the missing student,’’ Rosenfeld said, stressing that a forensics team was still trying to confirm the identification.
Rosenfeld would not say whether there had been signs of foul play.
Police have been conducting an extensive search for Sofer, an ultra-Orthodox student at a yeshiva named for its founder, Rabbi Tzvi Kaplan. Sofer’s parents flew to Israel to assist with the search.

"Israel identifies body as missing American student" | AP August 30, 2014
JERUSALEM — Israeli forensic investigators on Friday identified a recently found body as that of a US religious student who disappeared while hiking in Jerusalem last week, Israeli police said, adding that he had been buried near Jerusalem.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the body was confirmed early on Friday morning to be that of seminary student Aharon Sofer.
‘‘There is no suspicion of foul play,’’ Samri said by telephone, giving no further details on how he died. Israeli media speculated that he had fallen or died of dehydration. He was buried in the town of Beit Shemesh.
Sofer’s body was found Thursday night in the same area where he disappeared last week. The 23-year-old from Lakewood, N.J., had been hiking with a friend in a hilly, forested area on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
He was an ultra-Orthodox student at a yeshiva, a Jewish religious school.
Sofer’s parents had flown to Israel to assist with the search.
‘‘They’re overwhelmed. At the same time, there is some relief that Aharon has been found,’’ said Meir Lichtenstein, who was with Sofer’s family in New Jersey on Thursday.
