An officer following up on a tip found the body of Jonathan Pitka in a “shed-like building in the area of Front Street” on May 12, according to Acting Bethel Police Chief Amy Davis. Davis does not suspect foul play, and the body of the 34-year-old Pitka has been sent to the State Medical Examiner in Anchorage for autopsy. Bethel Police received a missing person report for Pitka on April 21.
Correction: The original version of this story said Bethel police found Jonathan Pitka's body on March 12. That is incorrect. They found Pitka's remains on May 12.
