GARDEN CITY, Idaho (AP) -- The Ada County coroner is still working to identify a body that was found under a home in southwestern Idaho.

Coroner Erwin Sonnenberg told The Idaho Statesman that the body was decomposed and likely wasn't killed recently. The decomposition has delayed identification efforts.

Police believe it may belong to a 50-year-old man who had been reported missing. They found the body under the Garden City home on Friday, after someone called in the missing person report.

Police have arrested 21-year-old Jordan Marie Shaver of Garden City in connection with the case.
