Aaron Vays, 25 and Evan Finell, 23, both of Monroe, N.Y. hadn't been heard from for more than 24 hours after stopping for cigarettes and gas on Route 17 in Ramsey early Sunday, according to officials.

Authorities located the 2003 Dodge Viper on Monday under a tree off Ninninger Road in Woodbury following a search of roads leading from Bergen County to Orange County, N.Y. A New York State Police helicopter was also used, spokesman Steven Nevel said in a release.
