SARATOGA SPRINGS — Police are searching for a man after finding a woman dead.

Saratoga Springs police requested help Monday to find Alvaro Jose Urbina Rojas, a 57-year-old man originally from Venezuela, and Jeusselem Elieth Genes Vitola, 43. The two were last seen by family members on Feb. 26.

While investigating a missing person's case, police served a search warrant on an RV in a Draper storage lot owned by Rojas.

"Detectives serving the search warrant found the body of an adult woman believed to be Jeusselem Vitola, inside the camper trailer," a statement from police said Tuesday.

The case is now deemed a homicide investigation, and police are looking for Rojas, who they believe fled to California. He is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 193 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He is believed to be driving a 2005 gray Toyota Sequoia with the Utah license plate T409YB.
