Ultimately, it was the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Air Unit that located Hannah’s body approximately \u00a0600 yards off-trail\u00a0 at around \u00a012:05 PM\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Investigation Underway<\/h2>\n

As the investigation unfolds, \u00a0Scottsdale detectives\u00a0 and \u00a0crime scene personnel\u00a0 are conducting a thorough examination to ascertain the circumstances surrounding Hannah’s death.
