Body found in van outside Englewood day care center identified as missing man, family says
The body found inside a parked car outside a day care facility in Englewood was identified as Lester Tabora – a 31-year-old man who had been missing from West New York since Feb. 8, the family has confirmed.
A missing person flyer posted by the family said he was last seen driving a white GMC van in Fairview.
News 12 reported Friday that police were called to the area of William Street and West Linden Avenue. News 12 crews then saw what appeared to be a body inside a body bag being taken out of a white van.
That van was parked in front of the Vincente Tibbs Child Development Center. That center did not appear to be part of the police investigation.
A person inside the center told News 12 that the children were OK and no alerts were needed.
Details surrounding the investigation have not yet been revealed by police. Initial reports seem to indicate there was no wrongdoing or foul play.
