The body of an adult female discovered in Redington Pass last Friday has been identified as missing Tucson woman, Belen Potts, authorities said.
On July 29, hikers discovered the 2016 red Ford Focus associated with Potts, 55, and her son Ernest Potts, 29, near Mile Post 11, said Tucson Police Department spokesman, Sgt. Pete Dugan.
The pair had not been seen since the night of July 14, but had mentioned they were planning to go hiking at Redington Pass the following day.
Hikers spotted the vehicle off the roadway and down an embankment, and located the deceased person near the vehicle, Dugan said.
Pima County Sheriff's Department search and rescue teams responded to the area and recovered the body. The woman hadn't been positively identified, but next of kin for Belen Potts was been notified of the discovery, Dugan said last month.
No one else was located near the vehicle, and it's currently unknown as to how the vehicle ended up down the embankment.
Ernest Potts is still missing.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
