A 64-year-old Canyon Country man who was missing for nearly a month was found dead in early March, according to authorities.

The body of Craig Wilson was found in the hills behind the 17000 block of Sierra Highway on March 6 after an apparent suicide, said Ed Winter, assistant chief of investigations with the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:24 p.m.

 Private Investigator Thomas G. Martin, who was listed on a website created in an attempt to locate Wilson, confirmed that his body was found by an unnamed individual.

 Wilson last contacted his family on Feb. 9. Concerned about his well being, his family filed a report with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and also asked the public’s assistance in helping authorities ascertain his whereabouts.

 No further details regarding the circumstance that led to his location or the investigation into his disappearance were available.

Wilson’s family could not be reached for comment.

A website called HelpFindCraig.com offered a $10,000 reward for any information leading to Wilson’s location.

Detective Tammy Abraham of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau, who led the investigation into Wilson’s disappearance, could not give any information about the case per the family’s request.
