Tucson police need help finding family of man killed in June

Robert Ritchie, 62, was found dead in the backyard of a house on Tucson’s north side  last month, but police have been unable to find his relatives.

This week the department asked for help from the public in helping find Ritchie’s family and for tips into his killing.

About 7 p.m. June 27, officers found Ritchie’s body in the yard of a house in the 3900 block of East Kleindale Road, near North Alvernon Way and East Fort Lowell Road. Police said at the time there were “signs of trauma” but have released no more details.
