The Putnam County Sheriff's Office confirmed Sunday that a body was found in the Croton Falls Reservoir.

There was a large police presence at the end of Daisy Lane, where the road meets Lower Mine Road near the reservoir just after 6 p.m.

Authorities told News 12 just before 6 p.m. that the body was recovered from the reservoir.

Police have identified the man as 66-year Aurelio Zhunio-Orbez, of Connecticut.

His death has been ruled as a homicide by the Putnam County coroner.

He was reported missing by his family, in the city of Danbury, back on Dec. 1.

Police say a black Toyota Sienna was seen and belonged to the victim. It was allegedly stolen after Zhunio-Orbez was killed.
