A body found along the American River near Northgate Boulevard is believed to be that of missing Sacramento man Alex Holden.

The coroner has not officially identified the body, but in a phone call with ABC10, Sacramento Police said they "have reason to believe it is Holden."

Holden, 25, was last seen by his girlfriend, Kennedi Perri, leaving his I street apartment in downtown Sacramento around 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 31. She told police he had been drinking and went for a walk after an "emotional" talk.

Missing posters for Holden have been placed in windows all around Sacramento. On Jan. 14, Holden’s parents, Calvin Holden and Margaret Palmietto, announced a $10,000 reward for information in his disappearance
