The area where the body was found.

Members of the Superstition Search and Rescue have discovered what they suspect is the body of a hiker missing since Monday.

Crews from the Pinal County Sheriff's Office responded to Lost Dutchman State Park on Monday night -- four days ago -- after receiving a call of an overdue hiker, PCSO spokeswoman Tamra Ingersoll told the Arizona Republic on Wednesday.

Ingersoll told the Republic that Christopher Hensley, 34, was last seen Monday afternoon when he set out for a hike through the state park. She also said on Wednesday that the sheriff's search crews had been searching for more than 45 hours but found no sign of Hensley.

SSAR members are just now coming down the mountain after making their discovery and reporting it to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.

Sofi Collis, 19, a woman with epilepsy who was reported missing on Christmas Eve, was found late Tuesday night.

Sofi Collis, the 19-year-old girl from Scottsdale reported missing on Christmas Eve, returned home safely late Tuesday night, Scottsdale police say.

Collis had been reported missing after being last seen about 1 p.m., possibly on Rollerblades. She was said to have learning disabilities and epilepsy, and her family was worried she might have a seizure without medication. The call for help by the family and police received wide play by the media on Christmas, typically a slow news day.

Scottsdale police Sergeant Mark Clark says he was notified last night about her return.

The area of the search, north of Tempe Marketplace.

A body was found yesterday in the river north of Tempe Marketplace, and police say it's likely the body of ASU freshman Jack Culolias.

Culolias was last seen around the time he got kicked out of the Cadillac Ranch restaurant/bar the night of November 30, and the only physical clue of Culolias whereabouts was a single red shoe, which was found by Culolias' mother north of the shopping center a few days after that.

Part of the search area, north of Tempe Marketplace.

After searching an additional area of the Salt River basin for 19-year-old ASU freshman Jack Culolias, Tempe police finished their search of the area Friday evening, almost one full week after Culolias was last seen at Tempe Marketplace.

Investigators had finished the search on Thursday, but were back searching again the next morning after police got a call about an "object, resembling a person's silhouette" being spotted in the Salt River basin, outside of the original search area.
