Body found in trunk in the Bronx identified as that of missing New Jersey man

BRONX, N.Y. (WABC) -- Police are looking for a man caught on video in the Bronx exiting a vehicle where the body of a missing New Jersey man was later found.

At about 2 p.m. Thursday, NYPD officers responded to East 211 Street and Tryon Avenue in the Norwood section, and found Jordan Johnson, 24, unconscious and unresponsive in the trunk of a black 2013 BMW.

EMS responded to the scene and pronounced Johnson dead. The Medical Examiner's Office will determine the cause of death and the investigation is ongoing.

On Tuesday night, Megan Faulkner, of Fort Lee, reported that Johnson, her boyfriend, had been kidnapped and that her home had been burglarized. Faulkner said she and Johnson lived together in a building on 15th Street in Fort Lee.

She told police that she was going to meet Johnson during the late evening and early morning hours of Tuesday and Wednesday in Harlem, but when Faulkner arrived at the location, she said her boyfriend wasn't there. She tried to contact him and there was no reply.

After returning to her residence in Fort Lee, Faulkner reported that someone had burglarized the apartment and ransacked the interior. There were stolen items included a large amount of jewelry and some money.

The Fort Lee Police Department along with New Jersey State Police and the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, are also investigating and are looking for information on a black 2013 BMW model 550 Gran Turismo, with New Jersey Registration X81DYR. The vehicle belongs to Johnson and it was the last vehicle he left in the previous evening.

Anyone has any information on the case is asked to call (201) 592-3510.
