Body found in wash

Tucson Police Department investigators at the scene where a body was found in a wash in the 1700 block of North Frances Boulevard near the intersection of East Pima Street and North Rosemont on Aug. 8, 2018, in Tucson, Ariz.

The woman found in a midtown wash by a passing bicyclist Wednesday has been identified by Tucson police.

Alane Reyes, 34, was found in the 1700 block of North Frances Boulevard, near North Rosemont Boulevard and East Pima Street by the bicyclist Wednesday morning.

It is possible she fell into running water, Sgt. Pete Dugan, a police spokesman, has said, but detectives have not determined for sure how she ended up in the wash.

Reyes was reported missing during a rainy Tuesday night after family members tracked her phone to her vehicle, about two miles away from the wash.

Reyes' body showed no obvious signs of trauma, which led detectives to believe no foul play was involved.

The investigation is ongoing.

A GoFundMe page has been set up by the family.
