Metro Police say they believe a body found in October in the desert is that of Dragon Rnic Sr., who has been missing since 2009, and his death is being considered a homicide.

The body was found in the desert east of Mountain Springs, about 14 miles southwest of the Las Vegas Valley, police said.

Metro began investigating the disappearance Rnic, then 56, in December 2009. He was last seen on Dec. 1, 2009, driving a white Honda Odyssey minivan that was discovered the next day east of Mountain Springs, police said. The van was abandoned on the side of State Route 160.

The Clark County coroner’s office will release the identity of the man and the cause of death.
