Body Found in Trunk Identified as Bergen County Man Reported Kidnapped
Jordan Johnson's girlfriend reported him kidnapped after receiving an "unusual message from him" and finding their apartment was ransacked.
A Fort Lee man who was reported kidnapped earlier this week has been identified as the man who was found dead in the trunk of a BMW in the Bronx Thursday.
The body of 24-year-old Jordan Johnson was found close to a cemetery in the Norwood section of the Bronx in a 2013 BMW, NorthJersey.com reported. The cause of his death will be determined by a Manhattan medical examiner.
Johnson’s girlfriend, Megan Faulkner, had reported him kidnapped either late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning from the Fort Lee high apartment they shared after she received an “unusual message from him, asking her to meet him in Harlem,” NorthJersey.com reported. When he didn’t show up at the Harlem address, she returned to their apartment to find it had been ransacked.
