Body found at Harewood was 250 metres outside police search area
The body of missing man Jesus Moreno lay undiscovered for more than eight months because it was just outside the 500-metre police search area.
A police search team found Mr Moreno’s body on Friday on land close to the River Wharfe in the Harewood area.
He had been missing since August 1 last year when he got off a 36 bus from Leeds to Harrogate at Swindon Lane near Dunkeswick, just north of Harewood bridge.
The discovery of his body, close to the last sighting, came two weeks after West Yorkshire Police said it had “exhausted every possible line of enquiry”.
Asked why it had taken so long to find the body when it was so close to the last sighting, a police spokesperson said:
“Police can confirm the body of a man found in undergrowth on land close to the River Wharfe in the Harewood area on Friday has been identified as that of missing Jesus Moreno.
“A number of searches by specialist police search teams were undertaken in the Harewood area for Mr Moreno, as part of extensive enquiries conducted into his disappearance.
“The specialist search team initially set a search area of 500 metres radius from Jesus’ last known location. This area was searched with specialist resources.
“Mr Moreno’s body was found just over 250 metres outside that boundary and hidden under thick undergrowth, as part of ongoing work undertaken according to the wider search plan.”
The statement added that enquiries into the death remain ongoing but “there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances”.

Piglove Brewing Co, the Leeds brewery Mr Moreno co-founded, said in a statement on social media:
“It is with great sadness that the Piglove family announces that our beloved Jesus’ remains have been found near Harewood bridge, the last place he was seen on the 1st of August 2022.
“Please be thoughtful to our staff and family during this challenging time. It has been a tough eight months for the business but your support through this time has meant the world to us.
