YAVAPAI COUNTY, Ariz. — Officials from the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office are asking the public for help in identifying a body found in the Beaver Creek area more than a decade ago.
On Aug. 30, 2011, officials said a man’s body was found on Forest Road 618H in the Beaver Creek area off I-17 and Highway 179. The man is described as 6 feet tall, 252 pounds and bald with brown facial hair in the form of a goatee. A 9-inch scar was also reportedly visible on the victim’s abdomen.
No wallet or identification were found on the man’s body but several medications were found nearby, officials added. The man was reportedly wearing a blue tie-dye shirt, an extra shirt with a logo, a black and read backpack and a hat.
According to a business card for a cab company found in the victim’s possession, he was last known to be picked up at the Flagstaff Amtrak Station on Aug. 27, 2011, at approximately 12:30 p.m.
The cab company then drove him to the Beaver Creek area, authorities said. The man had allegedly told the cab driver that he was familiar with Flagstaff and Verde Valley areas.
Information on the man's cause of death has not been released and officials are still trying to confirm the identity of the man.
