Woman found dead in desert area of Phoenix

A woman was found dead in a "desert area" of Phoenix Saturday morning, the police department said, and the suspect hasn't been found. At around 10:50 a.m. on April 29, Phoenix Police officers got a call about an injured person near Mayo Boulevard and Scottsdale Road, just minutes away from the Mayo Clinic hospital. The victim is identified as 29-year-old Lauren Heike. The Heike family held a press conference with the Phoenix Police Department in an effort to get more eyes on the young woman's case. "She was my little girl, and I'm going to miss her terribly. I just hope they can find who ever did this to her," Lauren's father, Jeff Heike said. LiveNOW's Lexie Petrovic spoke with FOX 10's Linda Williams, who was reporting from the hiking trail where Heike was found dead. More LiveNOW from FOX streaming video
