TUCSON, Ariz. — Authorities in southern Arizona announced Thursday that the skeletal remains found in the desert last week were of a woman who went missing nearly a year ago.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department said the remains that were found on Feb. 12 were identified as 38-year-old Sarah Galloway.
A Silver Alert was activated after Galloway's disappearance back in March 2019.
Her body was found in the desert area near Massingale and Van Ark roads in Picture Rocks, a census-designated place about 25 miles northwest of Tucson.
A search with several law enforcement agencies and more than 100 volunteers was conducted after Gallaway was reported missing. She was last seen at a residence on Massingale Road.
Galloway's cause of death has not yet been determined.
The investigation is ongoing.
