Hidalgo County Sheriff Warren Walter said the body of 72-year-old Frank James Callari was found near Cloverdale, about 46 miles south of Animas, early Thursday afternoon.
Walter said two U.S. Forest Service officials were traveling on County Road 1 near the forest boundary when they came upon Callari’s black 2009 GMC Canyon pickup. Callari’s body was found about 40 yards south of the vehicle.
Walter said the body was sent to the Office of the Medical Investigator for an autopsy, but it did not appear that there was any foul play.
Callari was last seen in the early morning hours of Saturday, February 21st, leaving his home off Plomo Road in Luna County. He reportedly was taking cancer medications which made him disoriented at times.
A Silver Alert was issued for Callari Monday after he had not returned home over the weekend.
