Tempe police hope to identify 2 bodies Jan. 6, 2006 12:00 AM Tempe police continue to search for answers in two separate deaths in the city. On March 11, 2003, a well-dressed, middle-age man died after he reportedly jumped off the top of the Chase building parking structure in downtown Tempe. In another case, a teenage girl's body was found March 26, 2002, behind a Tempe business. The first case: Police believe the man committed suicide when he jumped from the six-story structure and landed near the landscaping on the ground below, but his identity remains a mystery. When and where: The incident occurred March 11, 2003, at the Chase building near the northwest corner of Mill Avenue and University Drive at the parking structure. The man was seen jumping at about 8 p.m. from the parking garage. Summary: The man had extensive dental work, including porcelain and gold caps, and he carried a wallet with several hundred dollars but no identification. Police found no note and no ties to any vehicle in the parking garage. What bothers police the most; Tempe police Detective James Sweig thought he solved the case when a woman from California contacted him with a description of a man with similar dental work and age, but the similarities weren't a match. "It gets frustrating because you think this is really close," Sweig said. Sweig said the man's DNA was submitted to the Department of Public Safety. The man is described as White, between 40 and 50 years old, 5 feet 9, with gray hair and blue eyes. He wore a white T-shirt and jeans. The second case: A teenage girl's body was found behind a Tempe business after her mother reportedly kicked her out of their house. At first, police suspected foul play but ruled it out after questioning suspects and learning the girl overdosed on drugs. Police believe she may have been a Phoenix resident but have been unable to officially identify her. When and where: The girl died of a cocaine overdose in the 1800 block of East University Drive in Tempe behind a golf store. Her body was found at 5:40 a.m. Summary Police said the girl, who they believe was 17, was near hitchhiking near 32nd Street and Greenway Road in Phoenix when she was picked up by a man. The man told police he took her to Tempe, where she said she wanted to get tickets to a concert, police said. But the girl changed her mind and asked the man if he could get her drugs and he did, police said. The girl told the man she was kicked out of her house by her mother for drug abuse. She used the cocaine and the man dropped her off. Her body was found the next day. Sweig said police checked high schools and grade schools and found no matches. The girl is described as Hispanic or American Indian, 16 to 19 years old, 5 feet tall, with dark hair and brown eyes. She had a scars on her left hand and left shoulder and wore a red halter top, blue pants and black slip-on dress shoes. Sweig and others across the nation are using a Web site, www.theyaremissed.org, that profiles missing or unidentified people with a photo in hopes that someone will recognize the unidentified. To see profiles of the unidentified people in this report, go to the Web site, under "Profiles," click on "Unidentified Persons" then on either of the first two Tempe links.

September 8, 2010 Cold Case Sneak Preview! Posted: 07:39 PM ET AZ teen's body remains unidentified after 8 years No one has come forward to identify the young woman whose body was found more than eight years ago, dumped behind a strip mall in Tempe, Arizona. She was between 15 and 19 years old, of Latino, Native American or biracial descent, with straight dark hair and brown eyes. Her death, caused by cocaine intoxication, was ruled neither an accident nor a homicide. "There's just not enough information to know," said Detective John Thompson of the Tempe Police Department. "We've done everything we absolutely could have to try and identify this person," Eggers added. The young woman's body was discovered the morning of April 27, 2002 by an employee at the mall at University and McClintock Drives, not far from the campus of Arizona State University. She was wearing a red halter top, blue jeans with a side zipper, blue underwear and one black shoe. She was about 5 feet tall, weighed 125 pounds and her fingernails were partially coated with purple nail polish. http://nancygrace.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/08...-sneak-preview/ |
