More than two months after Gavin Smith vanished in Southern California, his body has been found, authorities said.
Hikers found his body this week in a shallow grave in Palmdale, according to Lt. Dave Dolson of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
"It's a crucial piece of evidence," Dolson said. "Because of the discovery of Gavin's remains, there's potentially a lot more evidence for us to process."
Smith disappeared in August after leaving a friend's house without saying where he was going.
