(CNN) A body found by deputies is that of a kidnapped Santa Cruz, California, tech executive, law enforcement said. "The investigation is still ongoing, but we have reason to believe the motive was robbery," the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office said in a release. The sheriff's office said earlier on Facebook that deputies found a car belonging to the executive with a body in it, but the person inside hadn't been identified. Atre was last seen getting into his 2008 BMW, the sheriff's office said. Contacted by CNN, Lochhead said friends and family of the kidnapped man have no comment and referred questions to the sheriff's office.
