Found Deceased AZ - Joseph Hight, 35, Phoenix, 27 September 2014 *Arrest*

Police are trying to determine if an assault or crime took place inside a camper parked outside a Phoenix home as they continue their search for a missing man. Joseph Hight, 35, was last seen on Sept. 27...

Investigators responded to a corner lot in the area of 18th Street and Grovers Avenue, which is northeast of 16th Street and Bell Road, at about 10 p.m. Thursday, one day after Hight was reported missing. That location is that last place Hight was known to be. Police were on the scene all night and into Friday morning, scouring the camper and surrounding area for evidence.

Detectives so far have not found any indication that Hight met with foul play. At this time, the case is classified as a missing person investigation.
