PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying human remains that were found at a worksite in Chandler last week.

Sgt. Joaquin Enriquez with the department told KTAR News 92.3 FM that employees with Grand Materials and Supply in Chandler called the department after finding possible human remains at their worksite on June 21.

The remains have since been determined to be human, spokesman Sgt. Bryant Vanegas said in an email Monday.

Vanegas said the remains are believed to be of a white or Hispanic woman with black hair between the ages of 20 and 45 and between 5’4″ and 5’6.” She was also believed to be wearing sweatpants and a tank top at the time of her death.

Anyone with information about the identification of these remains is encouraged to contact the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office at 602-876-1011 or 602-876-TIPS (8477).

We want to hear from you.
