Elderly Florida Lyft driver missing since last week found dead

An elderly Florida Lyft driver who went missing last month has been found dead, his heartbroken daughter revealed on social media Tuesday.

Gary Levin, 74, of Palm Beach County vanished Jan. 30 after he was supposed to meet his girlfriend for dinner and never returned home, officials said.

The case turned ominous Thursday when a Florida felon wanted for an unrelated murder was arrested driving Levin’s 2022 Kia Stinger as he tried to evade cops in North Carolina.

Matthew Scott Flores was taken into custody by state troopers after leading them on a high-speed pursuit across several counties in Levin’s vehicle.

Levin’s daughter, Lindsay DiBetta, told The Post last week that she was holding out hope her father would surface alive.

But detectives reported finding a body not far from where Levin vanished over the weekend, and DiBetta confirmed it was her father.

“My dad was truly a one of a kind person, if you knew him or even met him once you know exactly what I mean when I say that,” DiBetta wrote on Facebook. “The stories I have received about him from friends, family and complete strangers over the last week have lifted me up more than you can ever realize.”

DiBetta told The Post that her father retired from the auto-parts business and moved from Pennsylvania to Florida several years ago.

He began driving for Lyft to occupy his time and chat with passengers, she said.

DiBetta thanked those who offered their condolences and asked for privacy as she began the grieving process.

Police have not given a cause of death for Levin or noted a direct connection to Flores.

Flores remains behind bars for the prior murder and other charges related to last week’s police chase.
