Josh Valentine, Former Parsons Student, Found Dead

Published

On Sunday, a hiker outside of Santa Fe found the body of Joshua Valentine, the 24 year-old former Parsons student who went missing in December.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that the hiker’s dog discovered Valentine’s body somewhere between Rancho Viejo and Eldorado, two neighborhoods on the southwestern outskirts of Santa Fe, where Valentine grew up. The Santa Fe County Sherriff’s Office told the New Mexican on Monday that they are not calling it a homicide.

“Right now we don’t have any reason to suspect any form of foul play,” said Captain Adan Mendoza.

Valentine, who enrolled at Parsons last September but left after just a few months, disappeared on December 19. Family and friends have been searching for him ever since.

Mendoza told the New Mexican that Valentine’s body had been there for “weeks if not months.”

An autopsy and a toxicology test are underway to determine the cause of death.

  1. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem
    to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a
    formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility
    but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great
    though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Many thanks
