Former Lakewood Mayor Steven Langert also confirmed the reports as did United Hatzalah, an rescue and recovery organization involved in the search for the Yeshiva student.

A spokesman for the Sofer family told the Jerusalem Post they "do not wish to make any comments at this time."

The Where Is Aaron Sofer Facebook page reports he was found wearing his hat and jacket and may have been there for several days. Sofer appears to have fallen from a cliff according to sources close to the investigation.

Sofer went missing last Friday during a hike in the forest. A search led by Israeli Police has been underway for the past seven days.
