A release from the Des Moines Police Department says there is no indication or evidence of criminal activity around the death of 47-year-old Jamie Alan Hurley.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Des Moines police have identified the man whose body was found in a lagoon near the Harriet Street boat ramp over the weekend. 

The body of Des Moines resident Jamie Alan Hurley, 47, was recovered from the lagoon Sunday. 

Police say a 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche recovered from the scene was stolen from the city's east side in October 2018.

Sightings of the car have been documented as early as October 2019, according to DMPD. Detectives have confirmed Hurley was last seen in early January of this year. 

There is no evidence to indicate Hurley was in the car when it entered the lagoon, according to police. 

The circumstances around Hurley's death continue to be investigated by detectives with DMPD. They do not believe there is any indication or evidence of criminal activity surrounding his death. 

Those who have had recent contact with Hurley are encouraged to contact Det. Jason Hays at 515-237-1552.
