Police: Albuquerque man missing since last month found dead

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police in Albuquerque say a man missing for more than a month has been found dead and the case is being investigated as a homicide. They say the body of 41-year-old John Soyka of Albuquerque has been located, but details weren't immediately released Thursday. Police say a suspect told detectives last month that Soyka allegedly had been beaten and possibly dismembered in a northwest Albuquerque garage. Authorities have been looking for Soyka since Aug. 8. The Albuquerque Journal reported on Aug. 30 that a man told police he was kidnapped by three people who told him they killed Soyka over a drug debt.
