Three Bodies Recovered from Monsoon-Fed Wash Near Rio Rico, Arizona
Authorities in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, have recovered three bodies from a monsoon-fed wash near Rio Rico over the course of two days. The search began on Thursday after reports of two individuals being swept away in the Nogales Wash, which flows northward. On Friday, a man's body was recovered near Exit 22 of Interstate 19, and on Saturday, two additional bodies were found in the same area. One of the bodies recovered on Saturday is believed to have been seen floating alongside the man found the previous day. The identities and genders of the victims are still being determined by the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office. The search efforts were complicated by dangerous water conditions, and a drone was used to locate the third body. [Source: Tucson.com, published on Sun, 19 Jul 2026 01:15:00 GMT]
