BULLHEAD CITY, AZ — The Mohave County Sheriff's Office has identified a body found outside of Bullhead City.

At about 1 p.m. on August 27, deputies were called to the area of east Andalman Avenue and Gateway Drive, near Katherine Heights, for reports of a body in a wash.

The person who found the body told deputies he was riding his UTV when he found it.

Investigators have not been able to identify the body due to the condition in which it was found.

The Mohave County Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy to confirm a cause of death.

On December 12, MCSO identified the body as 53-year-old Steven Edward Goggil. He was reported missing to the Bullhead City Police Department on June 26.

On November 16, deputies were called to the desert area near where Goggil's body was found and located his vehicle. Detectives say the vehicle's tires were buried in the sand and it appeared the vehicle had been involved in a crash.

The investigation remains ongoing.
