TOLEDO, Ohio — Family members confirm, the body of a 25-year-old Army Reserves man who went missing on Tuesday was found in Monroe County on Friday.
Xiao Lu, 25, was last seen Tuesday, Dec. 28 at 9 a.m., leaving work at the United States Post Office on South St. Clair Street in downtown Toledo.
Police were investigating in a field near Whiteford and Stearns Road just north of Toledo in Monroe County on Friday evening where the body was found.
When he didn't arrive home after 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Xiao's family drove up to the post office and were told that when he arrived for his shift, he said he wasn't feeling well and left.
According to a police report, soon after Xiao left work, he texted a family member the sentence, "I love you." Another family member also received a text, but the message reportedly didn't make sense.
The 25-year-old lived with his family in Sylvania, who says his disappearance is out of character.
