Peretz Sontag, the Pomona father of seven who had been missing for more than a week, has been found dead at Harriman State Park.
Sources tell News 12 that a hiker found Sontag's body inside his black Kia Optima.
A group of more than 800 volunteers had turned out to search Harriman State Park today for 50-year-old Sontag, as the park is where pings from his cellphone were last detected. He had last been seen leaving his house last Friday.
Volunteers of United Search and Rescue have told JP that last week Monday and again on Thursday they attempted to search the exact area where Mr. Sontag was found, but they were turned away by the Park Police.
The sources noted, that when the organizers of the volunteers search efforts reached out to the Park Police to assist with the search, they refused to take part in the search, claiming that they do not have enough resources. However, for some reason, they found resources to issue tickets.
