The body of a missing Army reservist who went to buy a car listed on Craigslist in St. Louis nearly two weeks ago was found decomposing under construction materials by demolition workers.

Robert Lovings Polk, 22, was reported missing by his family on Oct. 3, after his mother, Hayleen Jones, said her son left home to meet someone to buy a car posted on Craigslist, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Police confirmed Polk's body was found badly decomposed, and an X-ray revealed he had been shot, KMOX-TVreported. The St. Louis Police Department did not immediately respond to a BuzzFeed News request for additional information.

Polk was found wearing a black hoodie and lying under discarded drywall near a rundown garage, a demolition worker who discovered the body told the Post-Dispatch.

Workers reported smelling a strong odor two days prior but believed it was a dead animal.
