The body of former rugby league player Bryn Hargreaves has been found 14 months after he vanished in the United States, his family have confirmed.
The 37-year-old former St Helens and Wigan Warriors player moved to the US about 10 years ago and he was reported missing in January 2022 after he did not turn up for work. A major police search in West Virginia drew a blank and last June his family revealed they had hired a private investigator to find him because "the police over there aren't doing anything".
Now, his remains have been found in woodland near to his home more than a year after he was last seen alive. Having retired from rugby, Mr Hargreaves was working as a gas and oil pipe safety inspector and was living alone.
