GCSO says an abandoned vehicle was found in the area on January 1, and search efforts were made that day by multiple agencies but were called off because of extreme weather conditions.
On January 2, a drone was used to continue search efforts and a body was located. Tonto Rim Rope Rescue Team recovered the body a short time later.
