Body of missing Brit, 32, who vanished while on holiday in Florida is found after more than two years

THE body of a Brit who went missing in Florida has been found two years after his disappearance while on holiday.

The alarm was raised about Alex Hodgson Doughty, 32, when his worried mum called the cops to say she couldn’t reach him in September 2022.

The Brit had been visiting the Jacksonville area and used a ride-sharing app to get to Kingsland, Georgia.

Alex’s remains were tragically found by cops in Kingsland, around 30 miles north of Jacksonville.

His body was discovered on 4 February in a wooded area on private land, according to the FBI.

Cops and investigators from the FBI Jacksonville Division released a statement following the discovery.

Kristin Rehler, the Special Agent in Charge, mentioned, “Although we had anticipated delivering more positive information to Mr. Doughty’s family, we are grateful for the opportunity to offer them a sense of closure.

“The uncovering of this information is a direct outcome of our collaborations and the dedication of the FBI Jacksonville’s Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST) agents, who displayed unwavering determination in pinpointing potential search sites.”

The FBI added that it did not suspect any foul play in this case and did not expect to file any criminal charges.

Police did not release further details about Alex or how he died.

Authorities are investigating why the Brit went to Kingsland in the first place.

The FBI used mobile phone based technology to track geolocation data and calls.

This tech was able to help investigators locate Alex’s body.

An official told First Coast News: “This isn’t a traditional investigative technique, such as interviews.

“We leveraged location data from phones and geospatial details obtained from the electronic devices that are part of our daily lives to retrace their movements and narrow down the search radius.”

Alex’s initial disappearance has not been the only case of a Brit going missing while on holiday.

Liam Hannigan, 34, vanished on 7 February while in Tenerife, The Sun has previously reported.

The holidaymaker, from Greater Manchester, was staying at a popular Canary Islands resort with his friends, but his family said his phone had been switched off for days.

A British businessman was reported missing in Nairobi, Kenya, after he failed to turn up for a three-day workshop.

A search has since been launched to find Campbell Scott, a senior director with the data analytics company FICO.
