Two bodies were discovered inside a vehicle near 51st Avenue and Peoria Avenue on Sunday morning, according to Glendale police.
The bodies were found around 10:30 a.m. after family members of a missing man used a phone tracking app to find his last known location.

Pair of hit-and-run crashes in Phoenix Sunday leave one man dead, another seriously hurt
Two separate hit-and-run crashes in Phoenix Sunday left one man dead and another seriously hurt.
The first happened just before 8:45 a.m. near 7th Avenue and Bell Road.
There, police say a man was hit while riding his motorcycle. He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries and remained in critical condition as of Sunday afternoon.

Officers arrived and found a bicyclist had been hit by a car. He was taken to the hospital, where he died of his injuries.
In this crash, police believe a white car hit the man and fled the scene.
'No Kings' protests against Trump bring a street party vibe to cities nationwide
Large crowds of protesters marched and rallied in cities across the U.S. Saturday for “No Kings” demonstrations decrying what participants see as the government's swift drift into authoritarianism under President Donald Trump.
People carrying signs with slogans such as “Nothing is more patriotic than protesting” or “Resist Fascism" packed into New York City’s Times Square and rallied by the thousands in parks in Boston, Atlanta and Chicago. Demonstrators marched through Washington and downtown Los Angeles and picketed outside capitols in several Republican-led states, a courthouse in Billings, Montana, and at hundreds of smaller public spaces.
Trump's Republican Party disparaged the demonstrations as “Hate America” rallies, but in many places the events looked more like a street party. There were marching bands, huge banners with the U.S. Constitution’s “We The People” preamble that people could sign, and demonstrators wearing inflatable costumes, particularly frogs, which have emerged as a sign of resistance in Portland, Oregon.
