Authorities have identified a body that washed ashore in Long Branch as a north Jersey teenager who disappeared in the surf over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Rudy Mena lived in Paterson.
Lifeguards spotted his body on Saturday near where the 17-year-old was last seen swimming.
Officials say Mena was swimming with his sister and another man when they believe the teen got caught in a rip current and drowned last Sunday.
