Stephen Ivens is seen in this undated photograph provided by the Burbank Police Department.

A body found behind a church in Burbank, Calif. is that of missing FBI agent Stephen Ivens, police said on Tuesday.

Police found the body of the 35-year-old agent, who has been missing since early May.

Two hikers, who smelled a suspicious odor, discovered the body on Monday night behind a church on Scott Road in Burbank and reported it to police, said Burbank Police Department Sgt. Darin Ryburn.

Ryburn said police have notified family members of the discovery and believe it's Ivens' body but are awaiting confirmation of the identity from the coroner’s department.

"Every indication is that it's Stephen Ivens," Ryburn said.

Ivens' boss at the FBI was at the scene as were other FBI colleagues. A weapon was recovered. Coroner's officials were working to confirm a cause of death.

Ryburn said it appears the body may have been at the location since Ivens went missing 67 days ago.

Ivens was last seen leaving his Burbank home on May 10.

An avid hiker, Ivens was thought to have ventured into the nearby hills after leaving home distraught.

The FBI has tracked the cell phone of a Burbank, Ill., man suspected of killing his new bride to the Texas-Mexico border.

A federal warrant was issued Thursday for the arrest of 30-year-old Arnoldo Jimenez.

Estrella Carrera was still in her wedding dress when she was found stabbed to death in the bathtub of her apartment on Sunday, two days after the pair were married in a City Hall ceremony, officials said. Jimenez disappeared.

Law enforcement said they tracked his cell phone from the Chicago area to an area near Memphis, Tenn., through Arkansas, to Houston, Texas, and finally to Hidalgo, Texas, at 10:45 p.m. on Monday.

His sister told police Jimenez called her and said he and Carrera had a bad fight and he left her bleeding, the affidavit said. Authorities said the couple were last seen at about 4 a.m. Saturday following a post-wedding celebration at a Chicago nightclub.

Jimenez told another close associate that he was leaving Illinois and the associate should tell police he has fled to Mexico.

Carrera, 26, is the mother of two children. Jimenez is the father of the youngest, a 2-year-old boy, the victim's family said.

Jimenez, according to officials, was last known to be driving a black, four-door 2006 Maserati with Illinois license plates.
