A 45-year-old American man, who disappeared after a blind date last month, has been found dead. Marcus Freiberger, a yoga instructor from Arizona, was discovered at a rock quarry in Phoenix on March 19, nearly a month after he was last seen.

Freiberger’s sister, Tina Hall, confirmed the tragic news in a Facebook post: “It is with a heavy heart that I share the tragic news that Marcus is no longer with us. Losing him feels like losing a part of ourselves, and I know this will be just as difficult for you. We thank all of you for the love and support you have given Marcus and our family."

Freiberger had been missing since February 21, the night he went on a blind date.

However, the missing complaint was filed on March 14, after his friends realised that his two-year-old dog was left alone in his apartment for days. This led to a search that ended after his body was found at a rock quarry in Phoenix.

According to the Indian Express, the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner identified his body on March 25 using fingerprint records from the FBI database.

Authorities have registered the case as a death investigation, with the cause of death still pending.

Freiberger was last seen driving a white 2021 GMC Sierra pickup truck at a Phoenix parking garage.

Marcus’ father demanded a thorough investigation in connection to the case. “We just want to know what happened. Marcus was a great kid. He was truly loved by a lot of people. The amount of shares on Facebook on his missing person’s report—it’s amazing how many people knew Marcus."

While the reason behind his disappearance remains unclear, his father suspects foul play, pointing to the unusual fact that his dog was abandoned.
