Bradley Klose of Peoria, Arizona, was found dead recently. Authorities have identified the 16-year-old teenager whose remains were discovered earlier this week at a mountain range in north Phoenix as having gone missing five months prior.
Bradley Klose’s bones were discovered in the mountain range close to 67th Avenue and Happy Valley Road, according to Peoria police.
Klose was last observed in Peoria on April 8. The teenager abandoned his job at Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley Road, according to investigators. Around 6 p.m., he was last spotted strolling close to 75th Avenue and Jomax Road.
Around 7:15 a.m. earlier this week, officials were dispatched to the range in response to a report of “unknown trouble.” Authorities were directed to the human remains in a secluded part of the Deem Hills Recreation part by a local witness. Subsequently, Phoenix police informed Peoria detectives that they were conducting the death investigation.
According to investigators, Klose was autistic, and his family was worried about his safety because of his “atypical behavior.” The death investigation is being handled by Peoria Police, and no suspects are sought. According to the authorities, there doesn’t seem to be any suspicious circumstances or foul play in relation to Klose’s death.
