OREM, Utah — A body found at the bottom of a cliffside on Thursday has been identified as Jared Johnson, a Lehi man who went missing, according to the Orem Police Department.

Police said Johnson’s body was found near the Olmsted Hydroelectric Plant near 800 North. Identifying Johnson was difficult for police. Due to the state of the body, police were not able to get to Johnson’s wallet without the help of search and rescue.
