PHOENIX — Phoenix police say they found a body who they believe is missing Valley woman Julie Concialdi.
Police gathered information Wednesday that led them to a location where remains were found Thursday.
On Oct. 1 around 3 p.m., Phoenix officers found a body near 56th Street and Deer Valley Road. When officers arrived, the body was concealed and they needed to search for and exhume it before identification would be possible, police said.
“There is a structure that’s blocking the way from where the body was recovered so it would make it more difficult to see someone doing something in that area," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Mercedes Fortune.
The Medical Examiner will determine the identity and cause of death, police said.
Julie Concialdi went missing from her home on Sept. 4 and officers found her car destroyed later that night. She was not reported missing until Sept. 6 by her husband.
Based on evidence obtained by police, Joseph Concialdi was arrested on Sept. 15 in connection with Julie's disappearance.
This is a developing story. 12 News will update as more information becomes available.
