Remains of kidnapped teenage boy found in rural Maricopa County

PHOENIX — The remains of a teenage boy who was kidnapped last week in a home invasion were found in rural Maricopa County, authorities said Wednesday.

Jesse Sainz-Camacho, 17, was taken from inside a home near 88th Avenue and Indian School Road at about 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 20 by two armed men, according to the Phoenix Police Department.

The suspects drove off with Sainz-Camacho in a dark-colored sedan, police said.

The boy hadn’t been seen until his remains were found Monday. Police didn’t specify where in the county Sainz-Camacho was located.

The two suspects, who also shot and injured a man during the home invasion, are still at-large.

The shooting victim’s injuries were not considered to be life-threatening.
