Tushar Atre, the 50-year-old founder of AtreNet Inc, was abducted from his home on Pleasure Point Drive in Santa Cruz around 3 a.m. Monday morning, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office said in a post to its Facebook page. He was last seen getting into the same SUV, which belonged to his girlfriend, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office said.
Several media outlets have called Atre a millionaire.
Police received a 911 call from witnesses who were present inside the home when Atre was reportedly taken, officials said.
Hours later, investigators found the missing SUV and a dead body inside. Authorities early Wednesday would not provide any information about the victim, saying they are still working on confirming identification.
In 1996, Atre founded AtreNet, a “boutique web design agency specializing in corporate websites for top Silicon Valley clients,” according to his Twitter page.
