Investigators say a body found over the weekend in West Travis County belonged to the man accused in a steakhouse killing -- Brian Beck.
After days of searching the area, Saturday search teams found Beck's body in the woods nearby.

Authorities cannot confirm it belongs to Beck, but they can say the search for him is now suspended.
The last images of 27-year-old Brian Beck may have been from this surveillance camera inside Steiner Ranch Steakhouse Monday afternoon.
They show Beck entering and leaving the restaurant after witnesses say he fatally shot his former boss, 29-year-old Chris Martin.
Police say the two had been in an argument at work just a couple of days before.
Monday night, the search for Beck extended into the woods off Bullick Hollow Road after Beck's abandoned car was found nearby.
It is the same place canine search teams found the body of a white male Saturday afternoon.
"The body was found in the exact same area we thought the suspect may be hiding ...so we'll just leave it at that until we have confirmation from the medical examiner's office," said Roger Wade of the Travis County Sheriff's Office.
Travis County Sheriff's Detectives say the hunt for Beck has been difficult.
Changing winds have thrown search dogs off track and the body found Saturday was in rough terrain.
"It was in an area that was so brushy and steep, that they were within feet of the body today and did not see it - it wasn't until the cadaver dog found it that we were able to locate it," said Wade.
Saturday night, people in west Travis County expressed their sympathy for Martin's family and their hope this tragedy has come to a close.
"Yeah, it's been traumatic, it's the talk of the town and we drive down Bullick Hollow and see the search parties and the sheriff - very unusual for this quiet part of Lake Travis," said Matt Rester, a nearby resident.
Family and friends said their final good-byes to Martin earlier this week.
Martin's mother, Mellissa Martin, spoke about the search for Beck.
"I pray that that guy is dead somewhere and that we don't have to suffer through a trial or anything like that. And if he isn't dead he needs to know how painful this is and what a void he left in our lives."
The medical examiner's office has not released a cause of death. Authorities say an official autopsy report could take weeks.
