The Hunters Search and Rescue Team has discovered the body of a man in the Palo Seco forest, believed to be missing 31-year-old Terell Leon Cedeno of Erin Road, Rancho Quemado. Cedeno had been reported missing since Thursday, December 25, 2025, after leaving home on Christmas morning around 1 a.m. to buy fries.
The body was found shortly before nightfall on January 1. A missing person report had been filed at the police station, and authorities are working to confirm the identity and cause of death.
Earlier in the day, 63-year-old labourer Alan Singh was found dead near his home in Penal. Singh, who lived alone in a small galvanised-roof structure behind a Heritage Petroleum pump off Coqueran Drive, was last seen on Monday by a cousin. Relatives discovered a foul smell around 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday, and about 100 feet from his home, Singh’s decomposing body was found in bushes, covered with dry coconut branches. Police say he had wounds to the head.
