York County Sheriff Bill King in an email Friday afternoon said a hiker found the body, later identified as Sciaba, in the woods off Spring Road in Newfield at about 8 a.m. Friday. He was found just over a mile from his last known location on Stone Road.
An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death, King said.
Sciaba was a known outdoorsman, and had on occasion spent a night or two in the woods, King said at the time of Sciaba’s disappearance.
