Remains of British man who vanished more than two years ago found in Georgia woods
The remains of a British man who went missing on a trip to Florida nearly two-and-a-half years ago have been found, the FBI has said. Alex Hodgson Doughty was on holiday in Jacksonville in September 2022 when he was reported missing by his mother after she was unable to contact him. His remains were found 35 miles north of there in a wooded area on private land near Kingsland, Georgia, the FBI said on Friday. Overseas missing persons charity LBT Global said on a web page dedicated to Mr Doughty that he was last seen on 11 September 2022. He was at a Jacksonville bar and grill at around 3.30pm and then got into a taxi which dropped him off in Kingsland around an hour later. A Facebook page, Help Find Alex, said he continued to make video calls and send text messages up until 6.51pm when his phone went offline. Federal, state, local, and international agencies were involved in the investigation and search for Mr Doughty, who was 30 when he went missing. His remains were found on 4 February, the FBI said, adding a medical examiner had confirmed Mr Doughty's identity. "While we had hoped to bring Mr Doughty's family better news, we are thankful to be able to provide them with some closure," said special agent Kristin Rehler. "This discovery is the direct result of our partnerships and special agents from FBI Jacksonville's Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST), who were relentless in their efforts to narrow down potential search locations." No criminal charges are expected, the FBI said.
