	They do find him, left on a desert planet. When they arrive, they see his throat was slashed, killing him..it appears that due to how recent the wound is, their search alerted the killer, and lead to them killing tide. It looks to be he was tortured before death, his nails, teeth, and eyes pulled out. A grizzly scene, to say the least. Whoever killed him masterfully covered their tracks, no trace being found.
