Death on Mount Ord

[DixieFlyer]

I saw where a couple of teenagers were killed on Mount Ord, and it is apparently a homicide.

I could speculate on what might have happened, but out of respect for the deceased I won't.

I did have to laugh at how the news story described how treacherous the road up to Mount Ord is. The reality is that a sedan could drive up there in dry conditions.

From the news reports, I've been unable to determine where "near Mount Ord" actually is. The video in the link posted actually says the victims were found WEST of SR 87. Almost all of FR 626 is in Gila County. Since MCSO is the agency in charge, I think it's reasonable to guess that the site may be in Maricopa County. It will be interesting to learn more when further details are released.

At long last they arrested a suspect today.

Wild; wasn't expecting that to get solved, honestly. unless there was another couple people there and one got chatty. This guy is 31 so doubtful he was part of a friend group or similar. Curious as to how the matched his DNA, too (prior record?).

Looks like there's a press conference at 10 today where they'll probably share more details.

Right now AZ511 locates Water Wheel Falls on Phoenix Street West of AZ 87 in Payson.

I had been on two homicide scenes where there was a debate as to jurisdiction.

Thankfull to MCSO.
